The highly awaited eighth installment in the legendary fighting game series, Tekken 8, is just around the corner. Bandai Namco, the franchise’s skilled developers, just revealed the remaining members of the base roster. With Tekken 8 launching with its 30th anniversary, the game maintains its tradition, having an astounding history of nearly 100 playable characters. Despite this large roster, each new edition offers new characters, and Victor Chevalier, a sword-wielding spy from France, is one such inclusion in Tekken 8. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at this intriguing new character. Tekken 8’s Newest Character: Victor Chevalier Spotlight
Victor Chevalier identifies himself in the Tekken 8 character lineup by holding a sword, a characteristic he shares with Yoshimitsu. His playstyle, however, is reminiscent of Tekken 7’s guest character, Noctis from Final Fantasy 15. Noctis functioned as a welcoming entry point for strangers, and Victor appears to be cut from the same cloth. Beyond the teleportation and rushing moves of Noctis, Victor’s repertoire contains parts of Kunimitsu and Raven, adding complexity and technical depth.
Unlike Noctis, Victor brings a distinct set of moves to the table, including a handgun and teleportation, which increases his effectiveness in dominating space within the game. This combination of skills makes him a versatile and possibly powerful member of the Tekken 8 roster.
Surprisingly, Victor, along with another newcomer Reina, fills a vacuum left by a previous character. Bandai Namco has offered a detailed backstory for Victor, depicting him as a descendant of a long line of knights with a desire to help people all across the world. Victor’s character is steeped in intrigue, having risen through the ranks of the French Navy and now directing the Raven Unit, a special forces unit. His connection to the United Nations seals his place in the Tekken universe.
Victor’s persona goes beyond his combat abilities and into his personal characteristics. Victor is similar to the legendary film hero James Bond in his penny-pinching mentality and womanising inclinations. These characteristics, combined with his spy past and UN connections, provide layers of complexity to his character, making him a compelling addition to the Tekken 8 narrative.
While the plot of Tekken 8 remains unknown, Victor’s particular combat style and charming presence hint a possibly big role in the future release. With the esteemed Vincent Cassel contributing his voice to Victor, the character’s influence on Tekken 8’s unfolding narrative is high. With the game set to be released early next year, fans are eager to learn the full depth of Victor Chevalier’s significance in the Tekken saga.
