First seen in Tekken 7, Claudio Serafino enters the Tekken 8 line-up, exhibiting his divine power in a recently released YouTube trailer. The video, featuring a face-off against opponents King and Bryan Fury, presents a captivating display of Serafino’s combat skills. With a spectral combo of cosmic strikes, he dominates King before finishing off Fury with a dazzling special move—a point-blank arrow of light.
A deeper dive into Serafino’s backstory reveals his debut in 2017’s installment as the leader of the Archers of Sirius, a storied exorcist group that’s kept supernatural threats at bay for centuries. In that chapter of the fighting saga, he partners with the infamous Heihachi Mishima to tackle Kazuya Mishima’s Devil Gene form, using his Sirius-Style Exorcism Sorcery fighting style to combat the encroaching darkness in the Tekken universe.
Besides Serafino, Tekken 8 is also reintroducing fan favourites Hwoarang and Jin Kazama, among others, setting the stage for more frenzied fight sequences.
Although no official release date is yet available for Tekken 8, Bandai Namco has ample time to announce additional returning fighters from the extensive Tekken franchise history. The game is currently under development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, so players should gear up to wield Serafino’s celestial might once again.
