Before Tekken 8 even launched, there was buzz that the initial DLC character for the anticipated title may have been inadvertently unveiled online.
A video, which is part of a Tekken 8 playlist on Bandai Namco's YouTube channel, hints at the return of Josie Rizel. The video is titled "Tekken 8 - DLC 1 Josie Rizel Reveal & Gameplay Trailer," suggesting she will feature in the game's premier DLC offering.
First seen in Tekken 7, Josie Rizel became memorable for her engaging playstyle combined with an unusual habit of bursting into tears unexpectedly. Her potential comeback is likely to be met with mixed reactions from the community, as is common with character announcements in the fighting game scene. However, since this information hasn't been officially confirmed, it's advised to regard it with a measure of skepticism.
