Bandai Namco seems to have unintentionally revealed the identities of the following two characters joining Tekken 8’s lineup. This accidental confirmation further supports a leak that emerged earlier in the week.
Despite not being officially released yet and lacking its tournament, Tekken 8 is prominent at this year’s EVO. Bandai Namco appears to have distinct intentions for the game, although this information hasn’t been fully disclosed yet.
The initial panel primarily centered around insights gained from the Closed Network Tests, with a potential reveal scheduled for Sunday. Following the customary trend of Tekken 8, it seems that Bandai Namco has unintentionally disclosed the upcoming character reveals.
As highlighted by a Reddit user named Trem45 on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, Bandai Namco Europe mistakenly posted information about the character unveilings on their website, although the actual trailers were absent.
(Leak or Fake?) Entire Tekken 8 Roster leaked

This inadvertent upload provides insight into the upcoming character reveals even without the trailers. One of the characters set to be unveiled next is Raven from Tekken 5, which isn’t surprising given his consistent presence in the series since his initial introduction.
The more intriguing revelation, however, introduces us to a fresh character named Azucena, seemingly named after a flower. Considering the limited number of newcomers on Tekken 8’s roster, discovering another one is noteworthy.
Nevertheless, the accidental unveiling of Azucena might hold a broader significance for Tekken 8 overall. Earlier this week, images began circulating on social media depicting what was purported to be the final roster of Tekken 8. Among the showcased characters, one had a distinctive feature: a sizable flower adorning their head.
Considering that Azucena is inspired by the flower sharing the same name, and given that one of the unidentified characters shown in the leaked image sports a floral adornment on their head, this recent official leak from Bandai Namco itself appears to provide additional supporting evidence for the legitimacy of the roster leak.
Equipping similar details in two separate leaks would be a remarkable stroke of luck. It’s worth noting that the debate surrounding the authenticity of the Tekken 8 roster leak has divided fans, primarily due to the low-quality photograph and the limited count of new additions.
Should the leak prove accurate, in line with the implications from the Azucena leak, it would mean that some of the forthcoming roster additions may include the expected presence of Kuma, Alisa, and an individual who resembles Cody Rhodes, the renowned figure from WWE.
