Tekken 8 Reveals Roger Jr. Early Access Date For November 11

Roger Jr. reaches players a month after Bob's August release, so the Season 3 cadence holds, but the trailer spends its last beat on a character not due until early 2027, which makes the January 17 Tekken World Tour Finals trailer the next real checkpoint for the season.

Tekken 8 Reveals Roger Jr. Early Access Date For November 11

Bandai Namco Entertainment began streaming the gameplay reveal trailer for Roger Jr., a Season 3 character in Tekken 8, on Sunday. Early access opens November 11, with the full release on November 16. The trailer also previews the in-game model for Yujiro Hanma, who debuts in early 2027, and confirms a Yujiro Hanma trailer for January 17 at the Tekken World Tour Finals in Singapore.

Roger Jr. arrives in Tekken 8 on early access November 11 and then on November 16. Bandai Namco Entertainment opened the reveal trailer with his gameplay and closed it on another Season 3 character who is not playable yet.

Yujiro Hanma, the father of Baki Hanma from the Baki manga and anime, appears in the trailer only as an in-game model preview. His own trailer is set for January 17 at the Tekken World Tour Finals in Singapore, ahead of an early 2027 debut. Kunimitsu and Bob filled the earlier Season 3 slots.
