Armor King Joins TEKKEN 8 as a DLC Character
Revealed During Fahkumram’s Gameplay Trailer
Bandai Namco has unveiled Armor King as the forthcoming DLC character, succeeding Fahkumram. The excitement was sparked during Fahkumram’s gameplay trailer, where viewers got a glimpse of the Season 2 pass, showcasing the return of the fierce masked wrestler to the King of Iron Fist tournament.
On May 26, Bandai Namco took to Twitter (X) to release a dedicated video spotlighting Armor King’s announcement. The character sports his iconic armor, now enhanced with gold accents and draped in gold chains, complemented by a fur neck coat. He also performs his signature flame-breath taunt, adding to the anticipation surrounding his return.
As a staple of the Tekken series since its inception, Armor King has consistently been a fan favorite. His presence in Tekken 7’s DLC roster marked him as one of the game’s most aggressive fighters. Fans are eagerly awaiting how his moveset will translate into Tekken 8, particularly with the introduction of the new Heat system. Expectations are high for Armor King to bring a unique and powerful grappling style akin to King’s.
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 announced, stay tuned to our site for more updates on Tekken 8’s DLC roster and other exciting developments.
