Ling Xiaoyu’s BFF Panda is the latest Tekken 8 character to get her own trailer. The Bandai Namco video focuses on gameplay, showing how she’ll fight in this entry.
Like Kuma, Panda uses a variation of the Mishima style. The video begins with her apparently going through a bit of hop scotch before into matches. At the one minute mark, we see what happens when she goes into a match against Ling Xiaoyu, as there will be a special opening involving the two dancing and singing together.

This is the second recent trailer for the game. Prior to this, Bandai Namco shared a video with Brian Cox going over the Tekken series’ story. He acted as a narrator explaining important plot points that will be resolved or built up upon in this latest entry. In the past, Cox appeared as Logan Roy in Succession, William Stryker in X-Men 2, and Death in Good Omens.
Tekken 8 will come to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on January 26, 2024, and a demo is now available to try out.
