Jin’s mother returns as a playable character to Tekken for the first time in 10 years, equipped with her characteristic lethal grace. Bandai Namco Entertainment has released the Tekken 8 Jun Kazama gameplay trailer, debuting her controlled, yet devastating arsenal of attacks and her ethereal Ki blast rage art.
Watch the gameplay video below:
In her first feature as a playable character in the series since 2013’s Tekken Revolution, Jun Kazama returns with a unique moveset influenced by Asia’s rich martial arts history and mythology. Grace is the name of the game for Jun as she takes the fight to her son Jin and estranged lover Kazuya in the footage, using a variety of precise, seemingly effortless melee strikes reinforced by Ki energy.
While Jin takes quite the beating from his beloved mother, it is Kazuya that witnesses her true martial potential. Jun makes quick work of the Devil Gene-powered Kazuya with her Heat abilities, and tucks G Corporation’s domineering boss into bed with a Rage Art that spatially displaces both of them into a white dimension, followed by Jun dispatching a Ki blast straight into Kazuya’s chest. Talk about revenge!
Bandai Namco is regularly releasing Tekken 8 gameplay trailers in anticipation of the game’s launch, with trailers for Jin, Kazuya, Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, King, Lars Alexandersson, and Jack having come out in the last few weeks. The game will launch for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S at a currently-unspecified time.
