The next character has been announced for the upcoming TEKKEN 8! Fan favorite Nina Williams returns, Bandai Namco has announced, and along with the announcement came a brand new trailer.
Here's the official statement via Bandai Namco:
Nina Williams is the latest character to join the TEKKEN 8 roster. Developed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, TEKKEN 8 will make the most of the latest generation of console, using the Unreal Engine 5, along with character models completely remade from the ground up as well as a new combat philosophy focused on aggressiveness, creating even more spectacular and fun fights.
The drop-dead beautiful and deadly assassin who first appeared in the original TEKKEN, is blasting her way back onto the roster in TEKKEN 8. Mrs. Williams is emotionless and focused on her missions, as it was proved when she accepted a contract to murder her own son Steve Fox before meeting him for the first time. However, her attitude somewhat hints that deep down in her heart, she does not enjoy harming others.
For TEKKEN 8, Nina’s character model has been completely reworked by the development team for new-generation game platforms. Her moves and techniques are also enhanced, including introducing new abilities to fit with the “aggressiveness” concept in the game’s new combat system.
A fierce and cool-headed silent assassin.
Starting as a contract assassin, Nina offered her services to the Mishima Zaibatsu, joining the Tekken Forces, then personally assisting Jin Kazama. Following his disappearance in Tekken 7, she took charge of the company before disappearing again to pursue her assassination contracts. It would appear this is the only life she knows how to live.
As a trained assassin, she’s skilled enough to identify her opponent’s weaknesses and exploit them. Using a unique combination of guns and close combat, she leaves no room to breathe for anyone who dares enter the fight. She is a first-class killer and all those who underestimated her paid the price. With Nina Williams, get ready for the next battle!
Nina Williams, the silent assassin that first appeared in Tekken is known from her smooth and deadly Assassination style. She’s also armed with weapons to defeat her foes in style. For TEKKEN 8, her moves and techniques are also enhanced, including introducing new abilities to fit with the philosophy of “aggressiveness” in the game’s new combat system.
The first of a long series of to-be-announced characters!
Nina Williams made her debut in the original Tekken game. Ever since, she has appeared in every entry of the franchise so far!
