Tekken 8 – Lidia Joins the Roster This Summer

Poland's Prime Minister returns, looking as fearsome as ever. Meanwhile, the third and fourth DLC fighters of Season 1 arrive in Autumn and Winter.

If it weren’t enough to see Bandai Namco announce free updates and new story content for Tekken 8 this year, it also outlined its roadmap for Season 1 DLC fighters. After Eddy Gordo, the next DLC character is one that should be familiar to Tekken 7 fans – Lidia Sobieska. Check out some teases of her power below.

Lidia was the Prime Minister of Poland in the previous game and a Karate practitioner. She entered the Iron Fist Tournament after Heihachi Mishima refused to remove the Tekken Force from her country, as you do. How her story plays out this time, especially with Heihachi out of the picture, remains to be seen.

It should also be interesting to see how it plays into the free Main Story chapter, which features Eddy allying with Jin Kazama. As for other Season 1 characters, the third arrives this Autumn, while the fourth debuts in Winter. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements in the meantime.
