Armor King Joins TEKKEN 8 as Next DLC Fighter

Spotlighted Alongside Fahkumram's Gameplay Preview

Bandai Namco confirmed Armor King as the upcoming DLC character following Fahkumram's release. The announcement came during Fahkumram's gameplay presentation, which flashed glimpses of Season 2 content featuring the iconic wrestling villain.

On May 26, Bandai Namco enhanced the reveal with dedicated Twitter/X footage showcasing Armor King's refreshed design. The update maintains his classic armored aesthetic while introducing gold detailing and signature chains. His new ensemble includes a fur-lined cape and retains his legendary flame-breathing intimidation tactic.

A franchise veteran since the original Tekken, Armor King returns after his Tekken 7 DLC appearance where he established himself as one of the roster's most relentless combatants. The community eagerly anticipates how his grappling-heavy style will translate to Tekken 8's Heat mechanics, particularly whether he'll receive enhanced wrestling techniques reminiscent of King's repertoire.

Scheduled for Autumn 2025 availability, his precise launch date remains unconfirmed. For comprehensive DLC coverage, explore our detailed breakdown below!
