Tekken 8 is launching its first character, Eddy Gordo, exclusively for Year 1 pass holders on April 1, with a standalone purchase option available on April 5. The patch notes include several updates, including new moves for Eddy Gordo. Known for his capoeira technique, a Brazilian martial art blending dance and combat, Eddy showcases his skills in the trailer by seamlessly transitioning from handstands to unleashing a series of powerful kicks.

While Eddy is the focus for spring, more fighters are set to join the game throughout the year as part of Bandai Namco’s Season 1 DLC plans.
