Various videos have been released for Tekken 8 in the past few weeks in which Bandai Namco has revealed various fighters. The development studio has already presented, among others, the British boxer Steve Fox.
Now a new trailer has been released, revealing Russian fighter Sergei Dragunov. He is a character who has been playable since Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.
Origin and fighting style
As a member of the Russian special forces Spetsnaz, Dragunov was nicknamed the “White Angel of Death” or “White Reaper” due to his overwhelming combat prowess and opaque personality.
Similar to the other members of the Russian army, he uses the “Combat Sambo” fighting style when fighting. This is a modified form of the offensive Sambo style, which is designed for self-defense in close combat.
Comparable to the Judo fighting style, Dragunov concentrates on throws, submissions and sometimes even strangleholds. He also uses punches and kicks that are derived from mixed martial arts techniques.
Dragunov will be playable from January 26, 2024, when Tekken 8 is released for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. If you want to play the title on your computer, we recommend checking the various PC system requirements in advance.
