New Tekken 8 Character Victor Chevalier Is A French Samurai James Bond

After revealing four returning characters for Tekken 8 earlier this week–Devil Jin, Alisa, Zafina, and Lee Chaolan–Bandai Namco has now unveiled the second brand-new character for the upcoming fighter. His name is Victor Chevalier, and based on his debut trailer, he’s essentially James Bond if he A) were French, and B) had a penchant for the samurai arts.

Victor’s moveset includes a Swiss-army-knife’s worth of weaponry, with the trailer showing off a short-range dagger, a pistol, and a high-tech samurai sword. He can also teleport–just as Final Fantasy XV’s Noctis had in Tekken 7–which gives him extra movement options and versatility in battle.
