Tekken 8 has revealed that Nina Williams will be added to the roster in the upcoming release. The latest game in the Tekken franchise has already revealed previous iconic characters featured in the game, including Jin Kazama, Marshall Law, and King.

Nina Williams is the latest character to join the Tekken 8 roster. Nina Williams, the silent assassin, first appeared in Tekken. She is known for her smooth and deadly Assassination style.

Nina has had a drastic change in appearance compared to her original appearance in the first game of the series. The original outfit for Nina was simply a purple dress, so the sunglasses and leather jacket are a fantastic addition to this iconic character. The moves for the character appear to include many low hits but still include her rapid attack speed fans are familiar with. The dual pistols are an amazing addition to the character, granting a familiar anti-hero aesthetic suiting an assassin. It will be amazing to see how much she has changed when players prepare for the next battle. 

Nina Williams joins the other already-announced characters for Tekken 8, Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, Jun Kazama, Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, King, Jack-8, and Lars Alexandersson. 

Tekken 8 is an upcoming release from Bandai Namco and is under development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. More announcements for the video game are expected to follow soon, including more characters for the roster and the official release date.

Long time fan of Tokusatsu fan since Power Rangers was first released in the 90s. Whereas most Superhero fans grew up with DC Comics and Marvel, my childhood was surrounded by releases from Saban Entertainment such as Beetleborgs, along with anime, and other various fads of the generation. Anime is also a great passion with Digimon, That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime, and Demon Slayer being significant favorites. It was the love of both Power Rangers and Digimon that led to the path of becoming a Senior Writer for The Illuminerdi.
