Following months of anticipation from fans, the developer behind Tekken 8, Bandai Namco, has finally announced the addition of Lili, one of the most popular characters in the fighting game series. The announcement was made earlier today in the form of a trailer for this upcoming game.
Lili, also known as Emilie de Rochefort, made her debut in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, quickly gaining a following for her elegant fighting style and confident personality. Lili has appeared in every subsequent entry in this popular series. “Salt, wait,” Lili says in the trailer while chasing down her cat. The character can be seen beating up her enemies before picking up the cat, exclaiming that “you’re here to celebrate my victory!”
The announcement of Lili's return to the roster has been met with excitement in the Tekken community. Many fans have already taken to social media in order to express their delight at the news. The majority of players are eager to see what changes and improvements will be made to Lili's character in Tekken 8, some hoping for new moves and combos, others just curious to see if her appearance will be updated or if she will have any new customization options. Lili’s appearance definitely seems rather familiar, but the fighter apparently has a couple of new moves and combos, at least according to the trailer in question.
Lili's addition to the game raises the obvious question of which other characters from the Tekken series will be joining the roster. With each new entry, fans continually speculate about which fighters will return and which new characters will be introduced. Bandai Namco has not yet revealed the full roster for Tekken 8, but the addition of Lili has sparked further debate and discussion among potential players.
Tekken 8 is expected to release at some point later next year, with more information and gameplay footage likely to be released in the coming months. Fans of the series are eagerly anticipating the game's release and the chance to fight as their favorite character once again. With the release of Tekken 8 still months away, potential players can only imagine what other surprises and additions the game could have in store for them.
