Tekken 8 introduserer tre nye spillutgaver

Bandai Namco has announced that Tekken 8 will introduce three new game editions on April 1, replacing the current versions. This update arrives at an exciting time, as players eagerly anticipate the launch of Season 2 just days later.

Tekken 8 Prepares for Season 2 With New Editions

Tekken 8’s first season wrapped up in December 2024, culminating in the arrival of Final Fantasy 16’s Clive Rosfield as a DLC fighter. Now, ahead of Season 2’s launch on April 3, the first DLC character of the new season has been confirmed as Anna Williams, the sister of franchise mainstay Nina Williams.

To coincide with this major update, Bandai Namco is rolling out three new game editions, each bundling different content options for players. These editions will replace the existing ones, offering a broader selection of content for newcomers and longtime fans alike.

Tekken 8’s New Game Editions

The official Tekken Twitter account recently confirmed that three Season 2-focused editions—Advanced Edition, Season 2 Deluxe Edition, and Season 2 Ultimate Edition—will be available starting next month. These editions offer various perks, including character passes, early access, and additional in-game content.

1. Tekken 8 Advanced Edition: Includes three Season 1 DLC characters: Eddy, Lidia, and Heihachi.
2. Tekken 8 Season 2 Deluxe Edition: Features the Character Pass for both Season 1 and Season 2. Grants 72-hour early access to new seasonal content.
3. Tekken 8 Season 2 Ultimate Edition: Includes the Season 1 & 2 Character Pass. Adds the Stage Pass and Customization Item Pack. Provides 72-hour early access to Season 2 content.

Community Concerns Over Early Sales

While these new editions offer a range of content, some fans have expressed concerns about purchasing them without knowing the full lineup of upcoming Season 2 characters. Many players in the comments of the announcement post have requested more transparency on who will be included in the Character Pass before making a purchase decision.

Tekken 8 x Atelier Yumia Crossover Also Confirmed

Beyond the new content arriving in 2025, Tekken 8 is also set to collaborate with Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land. This crossover will introduce exclusive costumes, skills, and accessories to the RPG as part of the collaboration.

With Season 2 launching on April 3 and new editions hitting stores on April 1, Tekken 8 is gearing up for an exciting year filled with fresh content and major updates.
