Revealed During Fahkumram’s Gameplay Trailer

Bandai Namco excited the Tekken community by announcing Armor King as the upcoming DLC character following Fahkumram. The reveal came during Fahkumram’s gameplay trailer, which also showcased the game’s Season 2 pass. This pass highlighted the return of the brutal masked wrestler to the King of Iron Fist tournament.

On May 26, Bandai Namco took to Twitter (X) to share a dedicated video focusing on Armor King’s announcement. His new design retains his classic armor outfit, now enhanced with gold accents and adorned with gold chains. A fur neck coat adds to his menacing look, and he performs his iconic flame-breath taunt, a nod to his enduring style.

As a veteran of the Tekken series since its inception, Armor King has consistently been a fan favorite. He was also featured in Tekken 7’s DLC lineup, known for his aggressive playstyle. Fans eagerly await his integration into Tekken 8, particularly intrigued by how his moveset will adapt to the new Heat system. Expectations are high for powerful and unique grappling techniques akin to those of King.

Armor King is scheduled to make his debut in Tekken 8 as a DLC character in Autumn 2025. While an exact release date has not been confirmed, fans can stay updated on all the latest DLC news by checking out our related article below!
