WATCH: Pinay character ‘Josie Rizal’ debuts in new Tekken game


Pinoy gamers may want to look forward to playing a fellow Filipino in the newest Tekken installment, Tekken 7.

"Josie Rizal," the first Pinay character in the Tekken series, specializes in Filipino martial art eskrima and kickboxing, Bandai Namco Games' Katsuhiro Harada tweeted.


In another tweet, Harada admitted that he knew the character's name is a play on that of Jose Rizal, the Philippine national hero.

As of this post, Josie is a trending topic on Twitter in the Philippines and worldwide.

Based on the video, however, this Rizal doesn't seem to speak Filipino.
