Fans of Tekken have already had something to enjoy this week with the announcement of no less than four additional characters in the roster from the next episode, Tekken 8. Zafina, Lee Chaolan, Alisa Bosconovitch And Devil Jin will therefore be there, all of whom have already been known for a long time. Necessarily, with only Azucena to bring something new, we hoped that the last two revelations planned for this Thursday 2 and for Sunday 12 November are reserved for new fighters. Well, here we are served and then a little teasing who arranged to meet Raven in a internship whose decorations speak for themselves, it is time for the revelation.
Today’s trailer therefore introduces Victor Chevalieran entirely new character in the license and who is of French nationality (contrary to Lili who is Monegasque), who we discover fighting on the deck of a luxury boat sailing on the Seine, the Eiffel Tower in the background. It’s difficult to be more cliché and representative at this point. If his voice in the language of Molière tells you something, it’s becausea renowned actor is dubbing, Vincent Cassel, which is the only audio version of the character anywhere in the world. We thought it was more focused on Virtua Fighterin reference to a scene from the film The Crimson Riversbut it is therefore in Tekken 8 that he finished.
Apparently, with Victor Chevalierviolence is “à la carte”. This classy gentleman is none other than the founder of the independent forces of United Nationswhose blows therefore have nothing to envy to Master Raven and his disciple, quite the contrary. He will fight in particular using a saber, a handgun and military knives for lightning-fast melee offensives, all with teleportations. Suffice to say that he will quickly find fans.
Victor Chevalier, the first French character in the license, is a living legend who founded the independent forces of the United Nations. Descendant of a line of distinguished knights, dreaming of helping people in need, he followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the French navy before joining the United Nationsfaithful to his desire to save more people.
Believing that the world was about to be taken over by an industrial giant, he founded and trained the Raven Force, armed forces that have the power to act as they wish to counter the company’s private armed forces. Armed with a haute couture suit and the latest optical weapons, Victor is the leader of the United Nations, the commander of its new forces and prepares for battle.
Moreover, a video with Vincent Cassel takes us behind the scenes of dubbingteaching us in passing that he experienced the license in the 90s where he played Eddie Gordo, since he himself practiced capoeira. Visibly, Victor Chevalier will interact with Yggdrasilthe organization of Lars Alexandersson. Visuals can also be admired on the following page.
