A la carte players will be able to purchase the Manji Ninja specialist from 1st June.<\/p>\n<p>Long-time fans will know that this version of Kunimitsu is actually the original game\u2019s daughter, Kunimitsu II. She was first introduced as post-release DLC in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps4\/tekken_7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tekken 7<\/a>, and returns here as the debut character in the title\u2019s current Character Pass.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>While the heroine retains many of the same moves from her previous incarnation, it certainly looks like she\u2019s learned a trick or two, like the ability to inexplicably breathe fire. Sure, why not? That\u2019s intimidating, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>There are also some interesting nods to wider Tekken lore here, like the fact that Kunimitsu may have studied alongside Reina \u2013 and, more interestingly, that Raven trained under her father, whose identity is still unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps even more excitingly, Bandai Namco has confirmed it\u2019ll reveal the fourth and final character from the current Character Pass on 24th May at Combo Breaker, so that\u2019s something definitely worth looking forward to.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think it\u2019ll be?
