Tekken 8: First DLC Character Revealed To Be Eddy Gordo

Tekken 8 is all set to debut later this month and ahead of the reveal, a returning character to the Tekken franchise has been confirmed.

Bandai Namco has announced that the first DLC character for Tekken 8 will be none other than Eddy Gordo, the capoeira master who made his debut in Tekken 3. Eddy Gordo will join the roster of characters in Tekken 8 in Spring 2024, as part of the Playable Character Year 1 Pass, which will include other new or returning fighters.

Eddy Gordo’s reveal came at the end of a new trailer that showcased the opening cinematic of Tekken 8, which features a montage of the game’s characters and story. The trailer also gave us a glimpse of Eddy’s new look and moves, which seem to retain his signature style and flair.

Eddy Gordo is not the only DLC character that has been leaked or confirmed for Tekken 8. A recent leak via a PlayStation Store listing claimed that Eddy will be followed by Armour King, Roger, and Xiao Men, who will be released in the summer, fall, and winter of 2024, respectively. Eddy’s reveal supports the leak, even though Bandai Namco has not verified these characters yet.
