Raven returns for Tekken 8 with Evo 2023 Trailer

Prior to the start of the Tekken 7 Top 6 at Evo 2023, Harada came on stage to address the audience and bring us some fancy new trailers and reveals for Tekken 8. The first of which was Raven!

Last seen as a playable character for the series in Tekken 6 and originally from Tekken 5, Raven sat out on the benches as a short cameo in Tekken 7. But now the shadow agent comes back looking smooth! Based on ninjutsu, Raven's general gameplay in prior entries of Tekken centered around high-risk, high-reward defensive positioning, running away from opponents, and looking to break through at an opportune time.

Beyond the gameplay, the stages remain a clear standout upgrade over previous games. Showcasing a spiritual, almost demonic, location and a surreal white dessert stage littered with massive chains.
