Apr 29, 2024 6:40 AM

Tekken 8 heats up with the addition of Lidia Sobieska as the second Season 1 DLC character this summer, following her debut in Tekken 7. Players can expect Lidia and more free content updates that will enhance their gaming experience. New features such as balance updates, a seaside resort stage, a photo mode, and an additional story chapter are all part of the upcoming release. While Tekken 8 has been positively received, it's not without its issues; recent controversies regarding character DLC and gameplay changes have raised concerns in the community. Despite this, the game continues to maintain its presence, especially with the Evo Japan 2024 around the corner.

For gamers interested in fighting games or series veterans, Tekken 8's continued support with DLCs like Lidia Sobieska and game improvements maintains its relevance in the competitive scene, and the promise of new content may respark interest in players who may have set the game aside due to its previous issues.

When will Lidia be added to Tekken 8, and what other updates can we expect?

Lidia is set to join the Tekken 8 roster in Summer 2024. Additional updates include balance changes, a new seaside resort stage, a photo mode, and an extended story chapter. Exact dates for these releases have not been specified.

As a staple in the fighting game community, Tekken has been around since 1994, and Tekken 8 is the latest installment of this long-standing series. Each new entry brings characters old and new to the forefront of 3D fighting games. Bandai Namco, the game's publisher, continues to support the series with post-launch content, balancing patches and competitive events like Evo, ensuring that both casual players and professional gamers remain engaged with the franchise. With characters like Lidia, Tekken continues to explore diverse backgrounds and fighting styles, further cementing its place in the genre.
