Tekken 8: When will Eddy Gordo go live?

Tekken 8 is set to launch their first character Eddy Gordo, and will be exclusively available as a playable character to those who have the Year 1 pass on April 1 and as a standalone purchase on April 5. Patch notes just rolled out with a plethora of updates.

Not only Eddy Gordo, but the updates are also rolling out with several new moves.

Eddy Gordo’s gameplay revolves around his capoeira technique, a Brazilian martial art combining dance, acrobatics, and combat elements. In the newly released trailer, we see Eddy gracefully transitioning from handstands to unleash a flurry of furious kicks on opponents. His fluid movements and powerful strikes make him a formidable addition to the Tekken roster.

While Eddy takes center stage as the spring competitor, he’s not the only fighter joining the fray. Bandai Namco’s Season 1 DLC plans promise at least three more mystery characters, set to be released throughout the year. Fans can look forward to additional surprises in the form of new fighters, each bringing their own unique style and backstory to the game.
