Tekken 8 Opening Movie Released, First DLC Character Is Eddy Gordo
Bandai Namco has released the opening movie for their upcoming fighting game Tekken 8 in preparation for its release on January 26, 2024.
The trailer above also gave us our first look at the first post-launch DLC character Eddy Gordo, his new look, some gameplay footage, and behind-the-scenes of the developers doing motion capture for the character’s Capoeira moves. He’s expected to launch this Spring.
Season 1 for Tekken 8 will feature four new characters with Eddy out in Spring, the second DLC this Summer, the third in Autumn, then lastly the fourth in Winter. Tekken 8 will launch with a roster of 32 characters.
If you haven’t, you can still try out the game for free as Bandai Namco released a demo of Tekken 8 giving players access to four characters and get a glimpse of the game’s story mode.
Tekken 8 will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam.
Arc System Works nailed Tokon and showed once again why they are one of the best in the genre. While it’s too soon to know if this game will perfectly fill the tag team Marvel void in the fighting game community, it launched with a respectable package perfect for everyone.
