Armor King Joins TEKKEN 8 as a DLC Character
Revealed During Fahkumram’s Gameplay Trailer
Bandai Namco has officially announced Armor King as the next downloadable content (DLC) character for Tekken 8, following the introduction of Fahkumram. The announcement came during Fahkumram's gameplay trailer, which also showcased the game’s Season 2 pass. This pass highlighted the return of the iconic brutal masked wrestler to the King of Iron Fist tournament.
On May 26, Bandai Namco took to Twitter (X) to release a dedicated video focusing on Armor King's announcement. In this video, fans got a glimpse of his updated appearance. Armor King retains his classic armor outfit but now features striking gold accents and is adorned with gold chains. He also sports a fur neck coat and performs his signature flame-breath taunt, adding to his menacing presence.
As a beloved veteran of the Tekken series since the original game, Armor King has always been a fan favorite. He was previously part of Tekken 7's DLC lineup, known for his aggressive fighting style. With the introduction of Tekken 8's new Heat system, fans are eagerly anticipating how Armor King's moveset will evolve, expecting powerful and unique grappling techniques akin to those of King.
Armor King is scheduled to make his debut in Tekken 8 as a DLC character in Autumn 2025. While an exact release date has yet to be confirmed, stay tuned for more updates. For more information on the game’s DLC, be sure to check out our detailed article below!
