The new Tekken 8 DLC leak suggests the addition of four new characters to their already expansive roster. All thanks to a trusted Tekken 8 data miner who posted their findings on their X handle. Hence, fans can get a rough idea regarding the upcoming DLC characters in Tekken 8 Season 1.
Eddy Gordo’s entry to the game’s roster was revealed by Bandai Namco ahead of Tekken 8’s launch. However, fans had no idea about other additions to the roster until this leaker shared some insights.
Who are the leaked Tekken 8 DLC characters for Season 1?
The Tekken 8 DLC leak suggests that characters for Season 1 include Craig Marduk, Fahkumram, and Lidia Sobieska, along with Eddy Gordo.
According to information shared by Shootmans, the trusted data miner, these four characters have the highest chances of making it into the Tekken 8 roster. Shootmans has enough credibility in the community for people to believe him but take the leaks with a grain of salt.
Shootmans reportedly used a software known as Cheat Engine to search through specific texts inside running apps. Sadly, the existence of such texts does not necessarily prove that the mentioned characters will be added to the roster. Moreover, Shootmans may have jumped to conclusions by connecting vague details regarding the backgrounds of characters.
For example, the data miner concluded that Marduk was joining the roster because the game data mentioned “Australia.” This is because Marduk was known as an undefeated Vale Tudo Champion from Australia. He made a similar connection between the word “Poland” and Lidia Sobieska.
However, theories regarding characters like Fahkumram have more plausible chances of being included in the season 1 DLC. Tekken 8 files show a reference to a Muay Thai fighter from Thailand and this data aligns perfectly with Fahkumram’s backstory.
Therefore, players should approach these leaks with caution and await the official DLC character announcement for Season 1 from Bandai Namco.
