One of the biggest fighting games for PS5 gets a German fighter, fans are excited: “I’ve been waiting for this”,

In January 2024, the latest installment of a popular fighting game series will be released. In Tekken 8, not only new characters will join the fight but also some familiar faces will find their way onto the battlefield. You can see an old character in the current trailer.

What is it about? A returning character for Tekken 8 has been introduced in a new trailer. Leo Kliesen has been a fighter since the sixth installment of the series and is now also presented in beautiful graphics.

Tekken 8 will be released on January 26, 2024, for PC, PS5, and Xbox.

We have embedded Leo’s introductory trailer here for you:

What does the trailer show? Before the trailer really kicks off and shows some gameplay and fighting style, it starts with an announcement from Leo himself: ‘Are you ready? Then let’s go!’

Since the character himself is of German descent, the developers also made sure that Leo speaks German. Voice actor Philipp Zieschang provided the voice for that.

As the trailer shows, Leo moves quickly and skillfully across the battlefield, striking with powerful punches and mighty kicks.

This leaves opponents with little time to strike back during the quick transitions between hand and footwork.

Finally, the trailer shows a quite impressive finisher move, where Leo swings over the opponents with a hook, then kicks them hard in the face with enough momentum.

• LundisQuie writes: ‘I don’t know how they managed to make Leo look both more feminine and more masculine at the same time, but they did it. Great job to them.’
• apaladinoflight305 writes: ‘Leo’s fighting style is so beautiful and fluid, elegant, almost like a dance, yet powerful at the same time!’
