As part of its TGS 2023 announcements, Bandai Namco announced Panda will be a returning fighter in Tekken 8. While there’s no trailer showing her off yet, a number of screenshots did appear. There is also a giant statue of her at the event, and the booth features official cosplayers dressed as characters like Ling Xiaoyu, Jin Kazama, and Jun Kazama.
