Lidia Sobieska joining Tekken 8

TEKKEN 8 is adding Lidia Sobieska, the next playable DLC character coming to the game since it launched in January. Debuting in TEKKEN 7, Lidia will join the game’s roster on July 25, 2024. Players who purchased the TEKKEN 8 Deluxe Edition, Ultimate Edition, or Deluxe Upgrade Pack will get early access to Lidia Sobieska on July 22. Developed by Bandai Namco Studios Inc., TEKKEN 8 harnesses Unreal Engine 5 to bring new weight and atmosphere to the game’s battles, with every character remodeled in stunning detail and new dynamic and destructible environments added to the game.

Also known as the “Warrior Prime Minister” of Poland, Lidia Sobieska continues her journey for justice in TEKKEN 8. Her brave political stance and refusal to bend a knee to unjust power have earned her the trust of people around the world.

Lidia Sobieska’s debut is the second DLC character after Eddy Gordo, expanding the game’s playable roster to 34 fighters. Earlier this week, Bandai Namco announced the next character coming this Fall, revealing “The King of Iron Fist Resurrection” DLC bringing back Heihachi in a new free Story Mode expansion and adding him to the roster as the third DLC character.
