A little bit of Ocean’s 12 is coming to Tekken 8 via its new French fighter

Heads up Tekken fans! A new Tekken 8 character has been revealed, this time a brand new addition to the series hailing from France! Victor Chevalier – voiced by actor Vincent Cassel of Ocean’s 12 fame.

Victor Chevalier is the UN’s independent forces founder, according to his bio on the Tekken 8 website. He also trained the Raven Force, the same faction that Raven and Master Raven come from as you could probably guess. He’s also packing some serious heat, with two knives, a pistol, and a cyber samurai sword that’s giving off lots of Jetstream Sam vibes. That’s a good thing!

As Tekken 8’s second-to-last character reveal prior to its January release, Victor brings some sorely needed originality to the game’s cast. Don’t get me wrong – it’s awesome to see familiar faces – but a new Tekken entry demands new blood. Azusena was a major hit at Evo when she was announced, and it’s good to see the quality continue with Victor. Very John Wick Chapter 4.
