Tekken 8 made waves upon its release in January, selling millions of copies and establishing itself as a new, long-lasting addition to the franchise. And that means Bandai Namco is looking at years of post-launch content to support the game, with a full roadmap of DLC and updates.
TEKKEN 8 – DLC Character Review "Leak"
Any modern fighting game needs to keep things fresh with new updates and content, or developers risk losing players en masse. Tekken 8 aims to prevent that by promising a full post-launch DLC roadmap that will feature a mix of free and premium content. This will range from story expansions, new features, and additional characters joining the roster. So if you want to see who’s available in Tekken 8 and what content is on the way, here’s a full DLC roadmap for the game.
Tekken 8's base roster features 32 playable characters, including three newcomers, one reworked fighter, and 28 familiar faces. Even returning characters have changed, however, as Bandai has focused on revamping the series and its fighters from the ground up with new, yet familiar elements rather than flooding the game's roster with newcomers and guest fighters.
Below are all 32 characters from the Tekken 8 base game, listed alphabetically and divided into returning fighters and newcomers.
