Tekken 8 Reveals Year 2 Pass, Anna Williams Teases

Important takeaways

  • Tekken 8 will continue to receive major content updates in 2025, as revealed during a new trailer.

  • Among these updates is a Year 2 pass, where it appears that Anna Williams will be one of the key additions.

  • Elsewhere, the fourth and final membership pass for Year 1 will be revealed during The Game Awards on Thursday.

Tekken 8 isn't going anywhere anytime soon. As revealed in a new three-minute trailer, Bandai Namco's published fighting game will receive two major content updates in the coming months. The first, a winter update, will add new customization features, along with a Year 2 character pass, while the second, a spring update, will add new moves for all characters, among other additions.

As revealed in the middle of the trailer, it appears that Anna Williams, sister of Nina, will be either the first member of the pass, or at least a member overall. During the trailer, a chopper with a familiar red rose and lipstick kiss can be seen entering the frame before starting to attack Nina.

That's about as obvious as a teaser can get. Oddly enough, this isn't the first time that Anna will be a DLC character for a Year 2 pass, as she was also a Tekken 7 Year 2 character.

As for the rest of the session, well, we'll have to wait a little longer to see who's in it.

In a fighting game, nothing beats “that move”

While playing Tekken 8, I have remembered the joy of spamming an effective move, especially against a friend

Tekken 8 has had some monster DLC

So far, Tekken 8 is still wrapping up its Year 1 pass, with an announcement for Thursday's The Game Awards for the fourth and final character.

That said, of the three fighters released, Tekken 8 went all out on fan requests. Eddy Gordo kicked off as the first member while Lidia joined during the summer. After that, Tekken fans were enraged when it was revealed that Heihachi was actually still alive and would be added to the game. Not only that, but Tekken 8 also got some story DLC, a franchise first. In other words, Tekken 8 has done its best to keep fans engaged with fan favorite fighters, and Year 2 looks to continue that trend.
