In a recent development for *Tekken 8*, Bandai Namco introduced Armor King as one of the upcoming DLC characters during Fahkumram's gameplay trailer. The reveal was part of the game's Season 2 pass, signaling the return of the iconic masked wrestler to the King of Iron Fist tournament.
In a dedicated Twitter (X) post on May 26, Bandai Namco unveiled a new look for Armor King, showcasing his classic armored outfit with golden accents, wrapped in gold chains, and complemented by a fur neck coat. Fans were thrilled to see him breathe flames in his signature taunt, reminiscent of his earlier appearances.
