Eddy Gordo Unveiled as Tekken 8’s Debut DLC Character
Bandai Namco has dropped exciting news for Tekken fans, revealing that Eddy Gordo will headline the first DLC in Tekken 8. Set for release in spring 2024, Eddy will lead the charge of four fighters introduced during the game’s inaugural season.
The announcement arrived alongside a captivating trailer showcasing Tekken 8’s opening movie. The trailer concluded with a teaser of Eddy Gordo’s imminent return and fans are ecstatic. Following Eddy’s spring debut, three additional characters are slated for release in the subsequent seasons. There will be a new playable character in the summer, autumn, and winter, forming the Season 1 character lineup.
Eddy, renowned for his captivating capoeira kicks, first made waves in Tekken 3, earning both admiration and mixed reviews for his unique combat style. While fans appreciate his intricate moves, some find his ability to spam kicks a source of frustration in combat.
Given this history, it’s likely that Eddy Gordo marks the beginning of Tekken 8’s ongoing character expansions. The highly anticipated Tekken 8 is scheduled for release on January 26, on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
