Tekken 8: Fahkumram’s Return and the Surprise of Armor King
Following the announcement of the launch of Tekken 8 Season 2 in February, the Bandai Namco team finally reveals the arrival of the next character. The new character for Season 2 will see the return of Fahkumram, with the release of the Character Trailer for the Muay Thai expert fighter, who first appeared in Tekken 7.
The trailer shows us the powerful fighter, forced to take on the Mishima Zaibatsu, being blackmailed by the Thai military forces who hold his family hostage.

Tekken 8: Latest Updates and Current Status
In May 2025, there were some exciting updates in the Tekken world, including the announcement of the return of the PAC-PIXELS Stage to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of Pac-Man. Also, a special collab with Karate Kid: Legends, which will hit cinemas in the coming days. Plus, the recent Patch 2.01 update from May 13, bringing the new TEKKEN GHOST SHOWDOWN mode. And the ban of certain cheaters and unapproved content.
As for the current state of the game, with a mostly solid first year, the new Season 2 has been heavily criticized by fans. The Season mostly includes reskins of Tekken 7 content and characters, some even part of the base package. The gameplay also favors a too aggressive approach. Many were hoping for a balance change with the new Season 2, bringing back the classic gameplay of reading your opponent and breaking through their defense.
