Revealed During Fahkumram’s Gameplay Trailer

Bandai Namco has officially announced Armor King as the next DLC character for Tekken 8, following Fahkumram. The announcement came during Fahkumram's gameplay trailer, which also teased the game's Season 2 pass. This pass highlights the return of the brutal masked wrestler, Armor King, to the King of Iron Fist tournament.

On May 26, Bandai Namco further spotlighted Armor King's announcement through a dedicated video shared on Twitter (X). Armor King's new design maintains his iconic armor, now enhanced with gold accents and gold chains. He sports a fur neck coat and performs his signature flame-breath taunt, adding to his menacing presence.

As a beloved veteran of the Tekken series, Armor King has appeared consistently since the original Tekken game. He was also featured as part of the DLC roster in Tekken 7, where he was known for his aggressive playstyle. Fans are eager to see how his moveset will translate into Tekken 8, particularly with the introduction of the new Heat system. Many expect him to bring powerful and distinctive grappling techniques, much like his counterpart, King.

Armor King is scheduled to make his debut in Tekken 8 as a DLC character in Autumn 2025, though an exact release date has not yet been announced. For more details on Tekken 8's upcoming DLC, be sure to check out our comprehensive article below!
