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

Bandai Namco has thrilled Tekken fans by announcing the return of Armor King as the next DLC character for Tekken 8, showcased during Fahkumram's gameplay trailer. This exciting reveal came with a sneak peek at the game's Season 2 pass, highlighting the comeback of the iconic masked wrestler in the King of Iron Fist tournament.

On May 26, Bandai Namco took to Twitter (X) to share a dedicated video spotlighting Armor King's announcement. Fans were treated to a glimpse of his new look, which retains his classic armor outfit but is enhanced with striking gold accents and gold chains. Adding to his fierce appearance is a fur neck coat, and he doesn't forget to perform his signature flame-breath taunt.

As a beloved character in the Tekken series since its inception, Armor King has consistently captivated players with his aggressive style. His inclusion in Tekken 7's DLC roster was a testament to his enduring popularity. With Tekken 8's introduction of the innovative Heat system, fans are eagerly anticipating how Armor King's moveset will evolve, especially in terms of powerful and unique grappling techniques akin to those of King.
