The addition of Tekken 8 Eddy Gordo to the roster of fighters has been eagerly anticipated since he was announced as a DLC character, and as of April 2024 he is now available in the game. Fans will already be familar with Eddy as he has been a regular fixture of every instalment since Tekken 3, and his fighting style of Capoeira – a blend of martial arts and dance, music, plus acrobatics – makes him interesting to watch and distinctive against the initial line up of 32 fighters. If you want to add him to your squad, then here's everything you need to know about Eddy Gordo in Tekken 8.
When was Eddy Gordo added to Tekken 8?
As was announced during the official Opening Movie reveal, Eddy Gordo joins Tekken 8 as part of the Playable Character Year 1 Pass. This DLC add-on will feature four additional fighters, with one being released for each season of the year, and Eddy Gordo is the first playable character to arrive in Spring 2024. Eddy Gordo was added on April 2 for owners of the DLC pass, and made available for separate purchase on April 5 to all players.
To get Eddy Gordo in Tekken 8 for free you'll need to own the Playable Character Year 1 Pass, which is included if you invest in the Collector's Edition, Premium Collector's Edition, Ultimate Edition, or Digital Ultimate Edition – if you own the pass, you may need to visit the store on your platform and claim the free download to activate him. Otherwise, Eddy Gordo is now available to purchase separately for $7.99/£6.49 from the digital storefront on your chosen platform.
