Tekken 8 has revealed its previously announced Baki the Grappler crossover in a new trailer. The footage also showcases Roger Jr, who joins the fighting game roster next month.

The latest EVO France trailer highlights Roger Jr’s unusual fighting style and acrobatic moves. The boxing kangaroo uses a combination of aerial attacks, powerful stomps, and unpredictable movements.

Roger Jr arrives in early access on November 12, before becoming available to everyone on November 17. His arrival adds another unusual fighter to the increasingly chaotic roster in Tekken 8.

Baki Crossover Introduces Yujiro

The trailer’s biggest surprise is the first reveal of the upcoming Baki the Grappler crossover. Yujiro will join the roster during winter, bringing the popular fighting anime’s brutal style to Tekken 8.

His reveal offers a first look at how the character will appear in the game. Fans will have to wait for more details about his move-set and fighting abilities.

More Details Coming in January

Bandai Namco plans to showcase more of Yujiro during the Tekken World Tour Finals on January 17, 2027. The presentation should provide a closer look at his gameplay.

The third season for Tekken 8 has already introduced Kunimitsu and Bob to the roster. With Roger Jr arriving in November and Yujiro coming later, the game’s next additions should keep fans busy.
