TEKKEN 8 Winter Update, Season 2 Announcement Trailer, Next Character Reveal at The Game Awards

  

During the TWT 2024 Global Finals, Bandai Namco dropped a new TEKKEN 8 trailer revealing an upcoming Winter update (adding exciting new Photo Mode and Customization options, a 30th Anniversary Fight Pass, customize characters in main menu, new TEKKEN fan art panels & more) in addition to a full Season 2 of new content arriving Spring 2024 — which includes major system and balance updates, new moves for all characters, and "the biggest and best Tekken World Tour yet". Furthermore, Bandai Namco is dropping another big announcement at this week's The Game Awards 2024 the final Season 1 character (joining the TEKKEN 8 roster this Winter)!
 

 
We'll find out who will be joining Eddy Gordo, Lidia Sobieska and Heihachi Mishima in TEKKEN 8's first playable character year 1 pass DLC at The Game Awards 2024.
 

 
The Game Awards takes place December 12th, 2024 (4:30pm PST) and December 13th (1:30am CET / 9:30am JST). The fact that Bandai Namco is saving this character reveal for The Game Awards bodes well for a potentially major "surprise" they might have in store. Is Anna Williams' arrival around the corner? (Hinted in the trailer.) Or could Bandai Namco finally be announcing a guest character for TEKKEN 8? We'll fill you in on all the details later this week!
 
Now here are some screencaps from the trailer to highlight some of the new Customize / Photo mode / 30th Anniversary Fight Pass content arriving in Early 2025. Confirmed free updates include 10 new character customize slots per character (for a total of 20), new Fan Artwork panels in-game, many new Photo mode features and options, customized characters on the main menu, as well as Premium Fight Pass Avatar & Character items, etc.
