As part of today’s Tekken Talk, Bandai Namco Entertainment has revealed that capoeira master Eddy Gordo is making his way into Tekken 8 this coming week!
Eddy will officially be available on April 5, but will also be out via early access to Character Pass Year 1 owners on April 1 at 4 pm PDT/7 pm EDT/7 am HKT! Check out the trailer below to see his moves and new character design.
Eddy Gordo was first introduced to gamers in Tekken 3 back in 1997, and has since appeared in every game. It’s worth nothing that for Tekken 4 & 5, Eddy shares the same character slot as Christie Monteiro (the granddaughter of the master who taught Eddy).
Chances are, we’ll be getting a title update alongside Gordo’s release. We’ll have more details on the upcoming update and other tidbits of info from today’s Tekken Talk on the site very soon, so stay tuned.
While Eddy Gordo will be a paid DLC fighter, Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada hasn’t ruled out delivering a free DLC fighter to gamers.
