Tekken 8 Season 1 confirmed & leaked DLC characters 

Lidia Sobieski will join Tekken 8’s roster through Season 1 as a paid DLC character in Summer 2024. The Prime Minister of Poland made her series’ debut as a Tekken 7 DLC character, and she’s set to make her return in similar fashion.

To get Lidia, you’ll need to purchase the Playable Character Year 1 Pass which costs $30 / £32.99. The Pass also comes bundled with the game’s Deluxe Edition.

Here are all confirmed Tekken 8 Season 1 DLC characters so far:

• Lidia
• Eddy Gordo

Leaks from different sources have provided players with a glimpse at some of the characters coming as part of Tekken 8 DLC. One of these leaks came in the form of an accidental upload on Bandai Namco’s official YouTube channel. This led to speculation of Josie Rizal being a DLC character for Tekken 8.

Other leaks emerged in the form of a Deluxe Edition listing, and information from a dataminer which supposedly revealed all Season 1 DLC characters. According to the leaks, the characters are:

• Armor King
• Anna Williams
• Fahkumram 
• Marduk

Tekken 8 Season 1 new stage

Tekken 8 Season 1 introduces a new stage named Seaside Resort. Shown off in the season trailer, the stage is set on a sandy beach with shacks and wooden fences surrounding the arena. The backdrop is a calming view of the sea, and the stage doesn’t appear to have any wall breaks or destructible elements.

The stage will be released sometime during Summer 2024 alongside the highly-requested Photo Mode.

Tekken 8 Season 1 new main story chapter

Tekken 8 Season 1 will add a new chapter to the game’s story, highlighting Eddy Gordo’s role in the narrative’s events. The chapter will arrive sometime during Autumn 2024.

Going by the snippets featured in the Season 1 trailer, the chapter will see Eddy join the rebel army and provide some much-needed context about Jun Kazama’s presence in the story.

Tekken Season 1 new game modes

Tekken 8 Season 1 will add the Online Practice and Ghost vs Ghost game modes to the title. Both modes will be arriving at a later date, which is yet to be revealed by the devs.

As the name suggests, Ghost vs Ghost will let players set up a battle between two AIs, while Online Practice will allow them to hone their skills in friendly online fights.

That was everything to know about Tekken 8 Season 1. We’ll be sure to update this article once more information arrives.
