Roger Jr. Returns to TEKKEN 8 with New Gameplay Trailer

Fans got a massive surprise at Evo France 2026 when the latest trailer for TEKKEN 8 revealed that Roger Jr. is officially returning to the fight. He is the third character confirmed for the Season 3 pass, bringing his signature pro wrestling style and powerful boxing moves back to the ring this November.

Roger Jr. first appeared in TEKKEN 5 and has been a fan favorite for years. This time around, he is caught up in a brand new story involving a conspiracy against the G Corporation. It seems he was framed for destroying one of their buildings, which gives him a solid reason to jump back into the action.

The gameplay footage shows off his classic moves mixed with some fresh animations that take advantage of the current generation of hardware. We cannot wait to see how he shakes up the competitive meta once he drops next month.
