Tekken 8 Season 2 Confirmed, Final Season 1 DLC to Be Announced at The Game Awards | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Bandai Namco announced some fairly big plans for Tekken 8 overnight, during the Tekken World Tour Finals.

For starters, a 'Winter Update' is incoming, which will feature some impressive photo mode improvements and additional customisation slots for each character. A new Fight Pass is also being introduced to celebrate Tekken's 30th anniversary.

Next, Season 2 has been confirmed. It'll kick off next year, and it'll include a suite of new DLC characters — one of whom appears to be Anna, going by the teaser in the above trailer.

Season 2 will bring sweeping balance adjustments to Tekken 8 as well, while gifting every character new moves. Generally speaking, the game is pretty well balanced as is — barring a few fighters who feel a little overtuned — so it'll be interesting to see what kind of changes the development team makes.

Oh, and the final character reveal for Season 1? That's coming at The Game Awards. We assume it'll be a big deal, given that Bandai Namco's managed to snag a spot at Geoff's show.

All the dates, times, and info you need

Are you still playing Tekken 8? Who are you hoping to see as the final Season 1 DLC? How do you feel about Season 2? Reload that rocket launcher in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Please be Tifa

This has to be Tifa. Bandai Namco would not save this announcement for the Game Awards if it weren't an iconic character beyond Tekken.

Waffle House level and Tifa and the internet would explode

Are you still playing Tekken 8?

Nope, it's my biggest gaming regret of 2024.

I am however, still playing Street Fighter 6 as if my life depended on it.
