Tekken 8’s latest addition to the Season 2 Pass is none other than veteran fighter and Nina’s assassin sister, Anna Williams.
Not only does she bring a deadly and graceful arsenal of combos, but she’s also packing a rocket launcher as part of her moveset.
Dubbed the Scarlet Lightning, her playstyle has evolved far beyond her earlier iterations, where she often shared moves with Nina. Fortunately, with Tekken 7 and especially Tekken 8, she has developed a more distinct fighting style — something Harada and his team have worked hard to refine.
Sporting a new bob haircut and refined techniques based on Aikido and Koppojutsu, Anna is set to be a formidable force in the arena.
Longtime Tekken players are well-versed in Anna’s lore. After her sister Nina killed her soon-to-be husband on their wedding day, the aftermath shattered her, pushing her toward a darker and more ruthless persona. She has become a far more bitter and dangerous version of the Anna Williams fans once knew — at least, assuming past iterations had defined personalities. This tragic transformation is why her default outfit in Tekken 7 was a wedding dress.
Anna will be available in early access on March 31 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S and will be released in full on April 3.

She’s not the only character arriving in Season 2 — three more fighters are planned for release throughout 2025. While many fans are hoping for Armor King's or Bob's return, every Tekken player knows that character reveals rest in Harada’s hands.
And after Clive’s unexpected crossover into Tekken, one thing is certain — anything is possible. For more Tekken, check out Gfinity.
