Armor King Joins TEKKEN 8 as the Next DLC Character

Revealed During Fahkumram’s Gameplay Trailer

Bandai Namco has officially unveiled Armor King as the upcoming DLC character following Fahkumram. The announcement came during Fahkumram's gameplay trailer, which also showcased the Season 2 pass of Tekken 8. This pass highlighted the return of the brutal masked wrestler to the King of Iron Fist tournament.

On May 26, Bandai Namco further emphasized Armor King's comeback with a dedicated video on Twitter (X). The new visuals of Armor King feature his classic armor outfit enhanced with gold accents and gold chains, complemented by a fur neck coat. He also performs his signature flame-breath taunt, adding to his intimidating presence.

As a beloved veteran of the Tekken series, Armor King has been a staple character since the franchise's inception. He was previously included in Tekken 7's DLC lineup, where he was known for his aggressive playstyle. With Tekken 8 introducing the new Heat system, fans are eager to see how Armor King's moveset will evolve, expecting him to bring 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 not been announced, fans can stay updated on the game's DLC developments by checking out our detailed articles below!
