Eddy Gordo, one of the four fighters planned for Season 1 of Tekken 8, makes a notable return with an introductory video that lasts nearly three minutes. This video offers viewers a glimpse into Eddy’s continued passion and unpredictability in both his movements and attacks. As a Brazilian capoeirista, Eddy addresses his opponents in Portuguese and emphasizes the elements that distinguish Capoeira as both a martial art and a dance. During each fight, Eddy uses his berimbau to taunt his adversaries, and his finishing move reflects the circular formation typical of capoeira combat. Additionally, Eddy Gordo now sports an Afro hairstyle similar to those popularized by characters like Killmonger or Miles Morales.
The arrival of Eddy Gordo is scheduled for Early Access on April 1, 2024, and for global release on April 4, 2024.
