With each update,TEKKEN 8becomes a better experience, as Bandai Namco listens to the fans, provides balance updates to an extent, and throws in new content for its players. The concept of seasons in games has been going on for a while.
Although the latestTEKKENfelt complete on release as compared to other titles in the genre, even it couldn’t escape the seasonal route that comes with modern gaming. Last month, series veteran Eddy Gordo made his entrance intoTEKKEN 8, but the future will see more inclusions that fans will likely appreciate.
TEKKEN 8 Season 1 Gets a Roadmap Featuring Its Second DLC Character
At EVO Japan, Bandai Namco shared the roadmap forTEKKEN 8Season 1 with a new trailer, and it couldn’t have ended on a better note. As the footage shared more details about what fans can expect from the game this year,TEKKEN 7enthusiasts experienced deja vu, realizing that something similar happened with the last installment.
There’s a new stage coming toTEKKEN 8in Summer called Seaside Resort, and when it showed up in the trailer, fans knew that they were about to get a certain character reveal. The Season 1 trailer ended with Bandai Namco revealing that Lidia Sobieski, the Prime Minister of Poland in theTEKKENuniverse, will be joining Eddy as the second DLC character in Summer.

Interestingly, the karate fighter was also a DLC character in the previous installment’s Season 4, and the stage that accompanied her was also Seaside Resort. Considering how Lidia was always meant to be aTEKKEN 8character, even if she made her debut inTEKKEN 7, her inclusion feels much more naturally added this time around.
Season 1 Also Includes Fresh Story Content and a Photo Mode
Starting off with a Battle Balance update in Spring,TEKKEN 8looks to cater to player feedback regarding certain characters being a bit too overpowered, including the recently added Eddy Gordoand the Peruvian coffee queen Azucena. But even with some balancing issues, there are two aspects in which the latestTEKKENinstallment definitely succeeds: its stunning visuals and the most cinematically epic story mode that the series has ever seen.

So it makes sense for Season 1 to add further layers to those elements, as along with the stage and character addition in the summer,TEKKEN 8will also get a Photo Mode, allowing players to take gorgeous screenshots during their battles.
Autumn will see a fresh story update,with Eddy Gordo taking center stagethis time around and leading an army against Nina Williams as he joins alliances with Jin Kazama to take down Kazuya Mishima. Other modes like Online Practice and Ghost vs Ghost will be coming toTEKKEN 8later this year as well.

Building his collection of PlayStation consoles throughout the years all the way up until PS5, he prefers single-player experiences like The Last of Us and Persona, while also letting off steam on a daily basis with casual EA Sports FC matches. But the current rise in online multiplayer shooters will never really appeal to his old-school self.
