Emilie “Lili” De Rochefort will be a playable character in Tekken 8. Bandai Namco revealed her in the game’s latest trailer. In addition, Bandai Namco Entertainment General Manager and Tekken 8 Director Katsuhiro Harada talked about her new look. Jasmin Darnell, an artist who in the past worked on other series like a Wonder Woman #797 cover, designed her costume for the game.
First, here’s the new Tekken 8 character trailer for Lili. She’s been a part of the series since Tekken 5 and appeared in the ensuing two entries, as well as showed up in other games like Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
Meanwhile, here’s Harada’s Twitter post sharing the concept art by Darnell.
Lili returns to #TEKKEN8 !
Lili’s new costume designed by Lady artist @JasminDarnell. I met her amazing talent in 2017& a few years later I ordered Lili’s costume design from her. Plz visit her website (I was lucky enough to order a design from her before she became famous)! https://t.co/HVvl7d3cqm pic.twitter.com/NfFJRIbuEg— Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) April 23, 2023
