Tekken 8 Receives Free Main Story Chapter This Autumn

Eddy Gordo plays a big role in the new story content, allying with Jin Kazama. Meanwhile, Jun lies in a mysterious forest.

Bandai Namco has a lot in store for Tekken 8 fans this year, starting with a new balance patch this Spring. While a new stage and Photo Mode will go live this Summer, perhaps the most intriguing announcement is a new Main Story chapter launching this Autumn for free. Check out some teases from it in the Season 1 trailer.

The story chapter sees Eddy Gordo (who went live earlier this month as DLC fighter) rallying the troops. Nina Williams arrives via helicopter, and he seemingly goes forth to fight her. The scene then cuts to Jun Kazama, lying in a forest, and then to Eddy again at Lars’ base and meeting with Jin in a show of alliance.

How long the story chapter will be and how it affects the main story remains to be seen. Considering how the story ends, perhaps it helps tie up some loose ends. As always, stay tuned for more details.

Tekken 8 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. Check out our review here – we awarded it a 9 out of 10.
