Bandai Namco Games had a special live stream broadcast in Shinagawa, Tokyo earlier today, Project lead Katsuhiro Harada unveiled the next three characters to be added to the playable roster in the arcade fighting game.

They are none other than Jin, Devil Jin, and new character Josie Rizal, who is a kickboxer from the Philippines.





In a report by EventHubs.com, Josie’s character design was made by Mari Shimazaki, who is known for coming up with the character design for Tekken 7’s Kazumi Mishima.
Mad Catz’s Mark “Markman” Julio was also consulted for the character design of Josie. Tekken project head Katsuhiro Harada said that Julio, who has Filipino blood, told him about Filipino culture and “offered advice that shaped many of the character’s traits, including her name,” the report said.

While Jin and Devil Jin gets unlocked on March 31 and April 7, the Filipina kick boxer is yet to have a release date on when she will be launched in the game.
