Bandai Namco is gearing up to deliver a boatload of new content in Tekken 8’s upcoming season 2, now that the game’s first year is over, and Anna Williams has been announced as the first fighter gracing the new season. Tekken 8’s Year 1 Pass included the arrival of new characters Angel Jin, Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo, and Victor Chevalier, alongside the surprising addition of protagonist Clive Rosfield from Final Fantasy 16.
Tekken 8 was first released in 2024, and as the title suggests, it’s the eighth installment in the main Tekken series. The story mode is titled The Dark Awakens and is set six months after the events of Tekken 7 following the showdown between protagonist Jin Kazama and his father Kazuya Mishima. Tekken 8 was one of the top-selling 2024 games, alongside Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, EA Sports College Football 25, and Helldivers 2, and fans of the popular fighting franchise are confident season 2 will not disappoint.
Although Tekken 8 has finally received its first guest character, it took a lot longer to get any than its immediate predecessor Tekken 7.
