Eddy Gordo first made his debut in 1997’s Tekken 3, and now a date is set for his return in Tekken 8. The capoeira fighter will join the lineup as the first DLC addition on April 4, 2024. If you have the Character Year 1 Pass, you’ll be able to start fighting with him a few days earlier on April 1. The 1.03.01 patch will launch at the same time as Eddy, and you can see how he looks in action in the new trailer below.

In TEKKEN 8, as “The Dark Awakens,” Kazuya Mishima’s vision of hell on earth is now threatening all of humanity. After Heihachi’s defeat, the world has descended into chaos with Kazuya’s power growing and his G Corporation wreaking worldwide havoc. The only one who can stop him is his own son, Jin Kazama, but only if he can reignite the unspeakable power of Devil Jin that runs through his veins.
