As we get closer to the release, we will learn more details about Tekken 8. In addition, the list of playable fighters is expanding nicely. We can now add a Saudi Arabian fighter to it Shaheen. He first appeared in Tekken 7.
Shaheen learned the art of fighting from a young age from his father. He saved a boy from an assassination attempt shortly before his thirteenth birthday. This boy, Salim, became his best friend for life. After being rescued, Salim told Shaheen that he should use his powers to protect others. He took Shaheen’s hand and asked him to be his bodyguard. Shaheen was accepted into Salim’s household, which was a prominent family in the local area. Their relationship changes when Shaheen joins the army, but Salim’s mysterious death prompts his old friend to discover the truth – G Corporation is said to be responsible for his friend’s murder.
