FULL STORY
======================================================================

Ahead of the release of Tekken 8 , Bandai Namco has unveiled the latest 
fighter, Victor Chevalier. 

Victor Chevalier is the fighting series' first French character and is 
described as a "living legend" who is descended from a lineage of 
distinguished knights. He followed in his father's footsteps by enlisting in 
the French Navy before joining the UN and founding the Raven Force. 

The French agent is armed with a haute couture suit and optical weapons, and 
takes the role of leader of the UN forces, commanding his own forces. 

Bandai Namco also shared the first look of Chevalier showcasing his move set, 
complete with fancy sunglasses and pistols, in a Paris arena with the Eiffel 
Tower and the river Seine making up the environment. You can take a look at 
the footage below. 

Chevalier is voiced by famous French actor Vincent Cassel, perhaps best known 
for his appearances in 1995's La Hain , Oceans Twelve and Oceans Thirteen , 
Black Swan and Its Only the End of the World . 

"Ive discovered Tekken in the 1990s and Ive really started picking it up when 
Eddy Gordo was introduced. He was doing capoeira and back then, so did I, so 
I was only playing with him," said Cassel. 

"What I like about Victor Chevalier is the fact that its a French character 
in such an internationally known game. In addition to that he is very 
sophisticated and promotes, through how he is and how he dresses, a certain 
idea of the French elegance. This, and the fact that I had been called to 
voice Victor lead me to be interested in the character." 

 Tekken 8 launches on January 24, 2024 for PS5 , Xbox Series X | S , and PC . 

In our preview impressions, Kara Phillips said the game felt "like nothing 
short of a spectacle". She wrote: "Between its breathtaking visuals and fluid 
combat, you cant help but lose yourself in it for hours at a time, and even 
when youre coming out at the bottom of the ranking you still feel 
victorious."
