Released exactly one year ago today, Tekken 8 is marking its anniversary with two pieces of good news. The first announcement is the addition of Anna Williams to the roster starting from March 31st as part of the Character Year 2 Pass. The second update is regarding sales figures, which have reached 3 million copies sold. This is a commendable achievement, though it still falls short of Mortal Kombat 1’s 5 million and Street Fighter 6’s 4.4 million copies sold. Regarding Anna Williams’ return, she will feature a new look, including a graded and two-toned bob hairstyle, and she will use a bazooka to eliminate her opponents. While the weapon choice may not be refined, it remains effective.
