Bandai Namco released a full character trailer for Claudio Serafino in Tekken 8
. While his return was teased when Bandai Namco announced the Closed Network Test, this is the first full look we’ve gotten of the fighter. Claudio debuted in Tekken 7 and featured prominently in that game’s story mode. He’s an exorcist for the secretive Archers of Sirius organization, explaining his new “Banisher of Demons” tagline. In his new Tekken 8 trailer, Claudio is still using his flashy, magical style from the previous game, including his more powerful Starburst stance. The trailer also shows off his new Rage Art, where he uses a summon circle to create a bow of pure energy to shoot through Bryan Fury.
Claudio is the latest character confirmed for the Tekken 8 roster. Here is everyone else confirmed so far:
- Kazuya Mishima
