Bandai Namco shared the latest Tekken 8 DLC and add-on updates that showed how Roger Jr will look as the latest fighter and the upcoming Fight Pass Nike items. The new fighter enters early access on November 11, 2026 ahead of a wider debut on November 16, 2026, while the Nike items will be part of Round 12 of the Fight Pass.
First, to go with the Roger Jr launch, there’s a Starter Guide video showing how the character works in Tekken 8. That explains how the joey is the playable character, with his mother being along for the ride. He’s still a close-range unit that relies on punches, kicks, and jumps. The video also explains how his moveset involves “simple inputs” and shows some of the most valuable moves.
As for the Tekken 8 Nike collaboration and in-game items inspired by King, it isn’t the only time we’ve seen this come up. A similar promotion was announced back at Evo 2024. The ARENA will feature ads for the shoes, and the video shows we’ll get Nike top and bottom costume pieces with King’s jaguar pattern and two types of sneakers.
You can see the teaser trailer for that too.
In the past, Bandai Namco also offered a Nike Air Jordans model kit and capsule toys.
Tekken 8 is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, with Season Pass 3 holders getting Roger Jr on November 11, 2026 ahead of his November 16, 2026 debut. The Tekken Nike items will be in Fight Pass Round 12.
