Bandai Namco announced the Tekken 8 Eddy Gordo release date. During the Tekken Talk Live presentation on March 29, 2024, the team announced he’ll appear on April 4, 2024 and shared a trailer highlighting him.
Eddy is a fighter who’s appeared in multiple entries and spin-offs. For example, he debuted in Tekken 3 and also showed up in the Tekken Tag Tournament titles. His official trailer begins with him playing a Brazilian berimbau, before declaring he’ll show the strength of capoeira.
Here’s the new footage of him fighting folks like Azucena and Nina.
And in case you want to watch the full showcase with members of the development team discussing Eddy, you can see that below:
Eddy isn’t the only Tekken 8 update we’ll end up seeing. It looks like there will be another wave of account suspensions in the future. The official social media account announced a wave of temporary and indefinite ones for the end of March 2024. Those focused on people who were breaking the End User License Agreement to cheat or harass other players. The announcement said those will happen “after April,” so we might not see them occur until May 2024.
Tekken 8 is available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Eddy Gordo DLC release date is April 4, 2024.
