Bandai Namco’s Tekken 8 has revealed its latest character. The spotlight shines on Steve Fox, a well-known Tekken 4 fighter renowned for his boxing prowess. The new gameplay trailer shows fans how his boxing style meshes with the game’s innovative mechanics, including Heat Burst and Heat Engager. You can watch the video embedded at the top of this article.
Steve Fox, a character primarily known for his boxing skills, stands out in the Tekken 8 roster. At first glance, his fighting approach seems straightforward: he’s a boxer who focuses exclusively on punching, avoiding using kicks. However, his speed and agility are his main assets.
He’s exceptionally quick with his punches and has a remarkable ability to dodge attacks, thanks to his skill in bobbing and weaving. This makes him a formidable opponent, particularly with his powerful low attacks and counter-hits.
Tekken 8, set to launch on January 26th, 2024, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, promises to bring several new and returning features. One of the most intriguing is the Arcade Quest, where players can create their avatars and traverse Japan, challenging various opponents in an arcade-style journey. The game also introduces the Super Ghost Battle, allowing players to compete against enhanced player Ghosts. Additionally, fans will be pleased with the return of the much-loved Tekken Ball mode.
