Article Summary

  • Bandai Namco unveils a new character trailer for Panda in the upcoming Tekken 8.
  • The trailer follows on the heels of Kuma's, highlighting Panda's unique traits and preferences.
  • Panda stars as Ling Xiaoyu's devoted pet and bodyguard on a quest to find Jin Kazama.
  • With unwavering loyalty, Panda accompanies Xiaoyu on a global journey filled with fashion and hope.

After skipping a week for the holidays, Bandai Namco dropped a new trailer today for Tekken 8, this time being the character trailer for Panda. After revealing Kuma's official trailer two weeks ago proposing marriage to the character, it seems only fitting we'd get the other side of that coin. However, there's really no follow-up other than the confirmation that Panda doesn't like fish and is more into bamboo for a snack. Enjoy the trailer, along with the bio we have below, as the game is still set to be released on January 26, 2024.

Tekken 8 – Panda

Panda doubles as both Ling Xiaoyu's pet and bodyguard. A short while after Jin Kazama, whom Xiaoyu has feelings for, goes missing, she sets off on a journey to find him, leaving her home only to never return again. Determined to uphold her duty of protecting Xiaoyu, Panda tracks her all the way to the Mishima Zaibatsu building. When she finds her, Xiaoyu informs her that she's successfully obtained Jin's search data and is going on a journey across the globe to follow after him. Shocked as she is by Xiaoyu's tenacity, Panda decides nevertheless to set off with her—after all, Xiaoyu deserves a vacation where she can enjoy all the sights and delicious cuisine the world has to offer.

On their journey, Panda makes sure Xiaoyu is always looking her best by coordinating her outfits so that whenever she finally meets Jin again, she won't be embarrassed. After six months of traveling around the world and tracking down what few leads they have, however, any hope of finding Jin is fading fast. Even so, just as Xiaoyu refuses to give up out of her unwavering dedication to Jin, so too is Panda resolute in staying by Xiaoyu's side until the very end.
