Tekken 8 Reveals Lidia Sobieska DLC
29.04.2024 - 09:37 / thegamer.com / Katsuhiro Harada / Eddy Gordo
In a new trailer for Tekken 8's first season, Bandai Namco revealed that Lidia Sobieska will be the second DLC character after Eddy Gordo added to the roster, joining the game sometime this Summer.
We also got a roadmap promising "battle balance" in Spring, a new stage called 'Seaside Resort' and photo mode in Summer, and a new story in Autumn. We can also expect Online Practice and Ghost vs Ghost modes at some point, but they do not have a release window.
Lidia was datamined earlier this year alongside Craig Marduk and Fahkkumram who are likely the blank Autumn and Winter slots teased in the trailer.
You can watch the full trailer below, but if you want to skip ahead to the reveal, it starts at the 2:15 mark. We see Lidia at the beach training as she smashes glass with her bare hands after splintering two wooden poles. This entire sequence takes place on the same Seaside Resort also arriving in Summer.
First appearing in Tekken 7 DLC, Lidia Sobieska is the Polish prime minister. Originally, she wanted to pursue a life of martial arts, studying and mastering karate, but when she was ten, a helicopter carrying her father and grandfather--then president of Poland--exploded. The ensuing debris is what scarred her face, and in the crash, her father tragically died.
Following this traumatic event, her goals radically changed. She went to law school at 16 and graduated at 21. During that time, she even won a karate championship. But when she graduated, she ran for national office that same year and became the prime minister seven years later.
When she was revealed as DLC for Tekken 7, she was also accompanied by a resort stage - Island Paradise.
Sobieska has been a long time coming. Director and executive producer Katsuhiro Harada said in an interview with Polygamia that he had been planning to introduce a Polish character since Tekken 5, but decided not to due to his own lack of knowledge about the country. He also clarified that, while she is the prime minister, she isn't based on a real-life politician.
Tekken 8 is the next-gen evolution of the long-running fighting game series from Bandai Namco. It brings back several popular characters and adds new, while it also introduces the new 'Heat' mechanic.
