Recently, a player named @Unapolagetically Black posted on X in which he attacked the absence of black characters in Tekken 8 and attacked the developer of Tekken 8 as a "racist", saying, "Why are these righteous people always white. ”
Another contestant was quick to dismiss the post, saying that there had been black characters in the Tekken series, and even two, Leroy Smith and Raven.
In the face of this unrealistic accusation, the game's director, Katsuhiro Harada, also angrily rebuked the player, saying, "Leroy Smith and Raven are going to kick you in the ass. There are no Asian and Japanese faces in my favorite American dramas or movies, but I don't feel discriminated against, you are completely illogical, you should be delusional and have something wrong with your brain!"
The Tekken 8 demo is now available on Steam and Xbox Series X|S, with a download size of about 23.6GB on Steam and about 25.2GB for Xbox Series X|S. The official version of Tekken 8 will be released on January 26, 2024.
