Armor King Joins Tekken 8 Roster Alongside Fahkumram: A Double Dose of Fighting Fury!
Get ready to rumble! Armor King is officially the next DLC character joining the Tekken 8 lineup, revealed during Combo Breaker 2025. But that's not all – the full trailer for Fahkumram also dropped, giving fans a glimpse of the Muay Thai champion's return to the arena. Prepare for a one-two punch of new content that's set to shake up the King of Iron Fist Tournament!
Fahkumram's release date is locked in, with early access for Ultimate Edition holders kicking off on July 7th, followed by general availability on July 10th, 2025 (Pacific Time). This release coincides with the v2.03 update, promising a wave of balance adjustments, the addition of the Pac-Man stage, and an array of new cosmetic options to customize your fighters.
Meanwhile, Armor King is slated to make his debut sometime in the Autumn of this year. While an exact date remains under wraps, the anticipation is already building. Check out the trailer and screenshots for a closer look at both characters, including Fahkumram's four unique costumes!
Fahkumram, the deadly long-range Muay Thai fighter, has caused quite the stir since his initial tease at Evo Japan 2025. Some say even his country's government fears crossing him without restrictions. He’s set to bring some scary mix-up potential. He joins Bruce Irving and Josie in this martial art.
The game will be undergoing balance changes starting June 3rd, 2025, that will include some new cosmetic options with more classic costumes and Karate Kid: Legends movie tie-in.
Tekken 8 continues to deliver a knockout punch with its commitment to fresh content and thrilling gameplay. With Fahkumram and Armor King joining the fight, the competition is about to get fiercer than ever. The game's balance is continuously being updated.
