If you thought a fighting Panda wasn’t the weirdest thing in the Tekken it has been revealed that Negan from The Walking Dead will be joining the cast of characters as part of a new season for the game.

The teaser video just shows a silhouete of Negan with a look that’s more in line with AMC’s version of the character on the television played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan who you can hear recite a line. The design is similar with some differences compared to the comic book version.

Joining Negan are veteran fighters Anna Williams and Lei Wulong.

The announcement was made after the game’s grand finals wrapped at Evo 2018.

There’s six new characters coming to the new season with the three remaining yet to be announced. Could it be more The Walking Dead characters?
