Tekken 8 Anna Release Date Announced Alongside Season 2

Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced the Tekken 8 Anna release date, as the second Williams sister makes her debut in the new title.

In a new trailer, they confirmed that the Tekken 8 Anna release date is set for April 4th, with early access available for the character from April 1st.

She'll also be part of the Season 2 Character pass, which includes 4 new characters and two new stages.

The team has also confirmed that the Season 2 Character Pass will also feature one entirely new character "who has never appeared in the Tekken series", though whether it would be a Tekken character specifically or another guest character like Clive remains to be seen.

Tekken 8 Anna Gameplay

Just like now Nina was given more emphasis on her pistols, Anna is putting more emphasis on her rocket launcher, named Lovely Tom.

This includes the ability to go into a stance to fire her rocket launcher, which looks like it can also be used to cancel the recovery of some of her other moves.

The stance even has an aerial version, with Anna having one version that looks like she's doing it after a jump.

Similarly, the rest of her kit is equally focused on an aggressive rushdown, being able to enforce powerful mixups.

These include high-lows, as well as strike-throws to keep your opponent on their feet.
