• ‘Real talk…No’: Tekken 8 players still livid after Fahkumram gameplay, Armor King reveal

    Tekken 8 is not sitting well with its community, and the latest gameplay trailer for Fahkumram didn’t do them any favors.Bandai Namco released the trailer on May 26, showing off the character’s move set, motivations for fighting, and subtle changes to the fighter’s design. The returning character will arrive as paid DLC on July 8 in early access and July 11 in general access, a part of Tekken 8’s Version 2.03 update.And if that wasn’t enough, Bandai Namco included a teaser for Armor King — another returning character — toward the end of the trailer. A specific release date wasn’t provided for the fan-favorite fighter, but is currently planned for a fall release.Neither reveal completely won over an already agitated Tekken community. Armor King appeared to garner mixed views from players, with some excited about getting King’s rival back in the fray, but others weren’t impressed with his inclusion.“Honestly, I had low hope that he would come back. But I’m so glad he’s coming back now,” a player commented on X.“THE GREATAST MOTHERFUCKIN CHARACTER IN TEKKEN HISTORY IS BACK!” one passionate fan typed, misspelling “greatest” out of sheer excitement.“LMAO, you know what’s funny,” someone else quipped. “They had to reveal this dude cuz they’re trying so hard to return the player base afterup the start of this season & revealing Fahkumram a dlc character from the previous title that nobody liked.”And speaking of Fahkumram, the community’s ill feelings toward him did not waver — gameplay or not, they’re still unimpressed. Players threw out a slew of comments calling the reveal “the most boring DLC trailer” and insisting they would “never like him.”Other commentary called out Bandai Namco for choosing to recycle Tekken 7 DLC and repurposing those characters for Tekken 8.“Man said we are paying for the same characters from T7 DLC all over again,” said one fan.“Why almost all of the DLC is DLC from Tekken 7?” questioned another account.“Real talk...No,” one player posted. “Could have added these people into the regular roster and bought back some we have not seen in a while like Bruce, Christie or made new characters for Tekken 8 DLC. used to have imagination in the industry.”Along with the mixed reviews of Tekken 8’s DLC, the game’s gameplay and mechanics have been a touchy subject, with the community irked by the devs making input changes to legacy characters. Gameplay changes were also made to a huge part of the character roster, adding forced 50/50 options with no defensive answers to respond.Tekken 8’s Version 2.02 and 2.03 are arriving in June and July so, these issues may be addressed. But as of right now, things are not looking too great for the Tekken 8 community.See More:

  • Tekken 8 Adds Armor King in Season 2 This Fall

    The reception to Fahkumram as the second DLC character for Bandai Namco’s Tekken 8 hasn’t been the best. While he’s about two weeks off from release, the developer has announced the next DLC fighter – Armor King.
    As a fan favorite, Armor King debuted in the first Tekken and has appeared in numerous entries, with Tekken 7 being the last. He’s an accomplished luchadore who entered a rivalry with King, though they would eventually become friends.
    After his death at the hands of Craig Marduk, his younger brother took up the mantle, becoming Armor King 2. Given everything that’s happened in the world of Tekken since the previous game, it should be interesting to see how he’ll factor into the story and whether Marduk is still an issue.
    Armor King is out this Fall for Season 2 Character Pass holders. Stay tuned for a concrete release date in the coming months, and check out our review for Tekken 8 here.

  • Tekken 8’s Fahkumram Arrives on June 10th, New Gameplay Revealed

    While the developer alleviates many of Season 2’s balance complaints, Tekken 8’s next DLC character, Fahkumram, is surging ahead. Out on June 7th for Season 2 Character Pass holders and June 10th for everyone else, the Muay Thai fighter brings his signature dose of destruction.
    As a relatively new combatant to the series, having debuted in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, Fahkumram is battling for the Thai military for the sake of his wife and daughter. His style mixes hard-hitting elbow and knee strikes, faints, and channeling lighting to enhance his attacks.
    His Rage Art is especially breathtaking since it’s a powerful kick that sends his opponent flying. How he’ll fare in the current meta remains to be seen, so stay tuned for more details.
    Tekken 8 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC and has sold over three million copies. It faced controversy recently due to Season 2’s changes, for which the developer promised extensive fixes.
