First introduced in TEKKEN™5, Roger Jr. is wrongly framed for the destruction of a G Corporation building after dealing with his father, Roger, who has been unfaithful to his mother. He and his mother are now on a journey to defeat their assailants and take down the head of G Corporation. In TEKKEN 8, Roger Jr. uses his Commando Wrestling fighting style, which includes his dynamic attacks and pro-wrestling throws to fend off his opponents and make it out of this manhunt alive.

TEKKEN 8 will feature the latest NIKE x TEKKEN collaboration, with special items inspired by King's appearances in TEKKEN™3 and TEKKEN 8 planned for TEKKEN Fight Pass – Round 12. As part of the collaboration, the ARENA battle stage will feature a NIKE theme for a limited time. Additional details will be announced through official channels at a later date.

Roger Jr. joins Bob, Kunimitsu and the upcoming Yujiro Hanma as the characters of Season Pass 3.

Continuing the tragic saga of the Mishima bloodline, filled with father-son grudge matches, TEKKEN 8 takes the story to a whole new level. With the additions of playable characters from the series that weren't playable before, players must try to stop Kazuya's reign of terror.
