Armor King Joins Tekken 8 as DLC, Revealed in Fahkumram's Trailer

Bandai Namco has thrilled Tekken 8 fans with the announcement of Armor King as the next DLC character, revealed during Fahkumram's gameplay trailer. This exciting news came with a glimpse of the game’s Season 2 pass, showcasing the return of the formidable masked wrestler to the King of Iron Fist tournament.

On May 26, Bandai Namco took to Twitter (now known as X) to share a dedicated video focusing solely on Armor King's announcement. The new visuals of Armor King maintain his classic armored look, now enhanced with striking gold accents and gold chains. Adding to his iconic style, he sports a fur neck coat and performs his signature flame-breath taunt, a move that fans have come to love and expect.

As a veteran of the Tekken series since the first game, Armor King has consistently captivated players with his aggressive fighting style. He was notably part of the DLC roster for Tekken 7 and was renowned for his intense combat approach. With Tekken 8 introducing the innovative Heat system, fans are eager to see how Armor King's moveset will evolve. Expectations are high for him to feature powerful and distinctive grappling techniques, similar to those of King, promising a fresh yet familiar gameplay experience.
