Bandai Namco's latest edition of its popular fighting game, Tekken 8, is having its release date by January 26, 2024, and we have seen another addition to its already star-studded roster with a very popular and familiar character named Eddy Gordo. The very first Tekken 8 DLC character, Eddy Gordo, will be dancing his way through his battles utilizing the capoeira style that he has been dawning since Tekken 3 back in 1997. If you're wondering how to get this character as part of your official roster once the game comes out, make sure to check out the details below.

Tekken 8 DLC Announcement

Making his way back in a very fashionable way, Eddy Gordo is the very first Tekken 8 DLC character that has been revealed to be added to the Tekken 8 roster. In case you guys missed the announcement, here is his official announcement video:

The Opening Movie of Tekken 8 officially shares what the plot of the game will be and that is Jin Kazama trying to save the world from his father, Kazuya Mishima, who is almost in full completion of his world domination. Jin is the only person that stands a chance to beat his father given that both of them possess the Devil Gene which grants the host unmeasurable strength as they transform into a winged demon. Sides will be taken, whether they are Pro-Kazuya like Nina Williams, Bryan Fury, Jack, and Feng Wei or are part of the Rebel team called Yggdrasil like Lars Alexandersson, Tougou, Alisa Bosconovitch, Lee Chaolan, Hwoarang, Olivia, Raven, Lei Wulong, Julia Chang, Doctor Bosconovitch, King, Ling Xiaoyu, Panda, Kuma, and Jin Kazama that wants to put a stop to Kazuya's plan.

At the end of the video, you will see that Eddy Gordo will be the playable DLC character for Spring that has been announced right before Tekken 8's release date on January 26, 2024. Most likely, the popularity of Eddy Gordo is what prompted the developers of the game, Bandai Namco, to add him back to the Tekken 8 roster even after all 32 fighters have been announced and confirmed. His reputation since the earlier iterations of the game is a testament to how his playability and popularity are at an all-time high.
