Tekken 8’s latest update patch is now live, bringing with it a host of bug fixes and other quality-of-life improvements. The latest entry in the hard-hitting Tekken franchise was released back in January and has earned rave reviews thanks to its visual presentation and more “aggressive” gameplay. Tekken 8 marks a new chapter in the far-reaching Mishima family saga, as Jin Kazama returns to his earlier role as a hero and aims to take down his father Kazuya Mishima once and for all, while a large cast of supporting characters embarks on their own connected stories through intense, one-on-one battles.

Tekken 8 has been one of the highlights of a year that has had no shortage of highlights, and even as the fighter maintains a healthy playerbase a couple months on from its release, Bandai Namco is gearing up to ignite yet more excitement with the addition of an upcoming playable character.
Prior to Tekken 8’s launch, it was confirmed that fan-favourite Eddy Gordo would be the first of four characters to be added to the game’s roster as DLC in its first year of post-launch content, and now Bandai Namco has shared a release date for his arrival. Eddy will be added to the game on April 4, while those who own the Playable Character Year 1 Pass will get advanced access on April 1. Check out the trailer below to see him in action against Azucena and Nina Williams.
In our review of Tekken 8, we awarded it a score of 9/10, saying, “Tekken 8 is a shot in the arm for the series, advancing the story while offering addictive combat, exceptional presentation and a suite of features to attract new and experienced players.” Read the full review through here.
Tekken 8 is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Bandai Namco announced in February that it had sold 2 million units, remarking that the game was selling “better than we’d hoped for at this point.”
