Tekken 8

News

It’s a Special Round of TEKKEN 8 Fight Pass — to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the series and the first year since the TEKKEN 8 release.

The newest update of TEKKEN 8 starts the next Fight Pass Round. It’s the only big thing in the TEKKEN 8 Patch 1.12. The official Patch Notes say that the balance adjustments have been postponed due to soon-coming big tournaments in Europe and Japan. However, getting TEKKEN 30th Anniversary Fight Pass totally compensates for this. This Round is truly special!

The best items of TEKKEN 8 Fight Pass: 30th Anniversary

The developers went above and beyond with the Special Round of TEKKEN 8 Fight Pass. Check out the best items you can get from it.

6. Profile backgrounds

Only two profile backgrounds are available in this Fight Pass, but they connect TEKKEN generations. You get a funny-looking old-school Kazuya Mishima and a modern poster.

5. Floating sidekicks

These items are the very definition of cosmetics in TEKKEN 8: sidekicks are amazing and useless. They just float around, watching your failures and successes from a short distance. Sure, sidekicks support wonderful vibes in the fighting matches, and it’s their main power.

In the 30th Anniversary Fight Pass, TEKKEN 8 players can get some really fun sidekicks.

4. Funny hat, hair, and head

Having something ridiculous on the head of your character is a nice tradition of the TEKKEN series. In the 30th Anniversary Fight Pass, you may have a funny hat for your avatar and a brilliant head for your fighter. Heihachi Hair is simply epic!

3. Golden and Royal costumes

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of TEKKEN is a big deal, don’t you think? Your avatar and your TEKKEN 8 characters should have proper costumes for this. The Special Round of Fight Pass has some nice outfit choices. Even Lili should be happy with the Royal Jacket!

One more TEKKEN 8 costume in the 30th Anniversary Fight Pass deserves a special mention. It’s a long-sleeve shirt with a print from the original TEKKEN game.

2. Panels and health bars

The TEKKEN 8 Fight Pass 30th Anniversary Special Round introduces two sets of panels and health bars. Both are gorgeous!

1. Emotes and Fight Cards

The emotes (sprays) and fight cards are arguably the best items in the TEKKEN 30th Anniversary Fight Pass. They are spread across the Free and Premium tiers, and it is a good idea to unlock all of them — for your current and future main characters.

The art pictures have been created by two artists.

The 30th Anniversary Fight Pass should keep the players busy tillSeason 2 kicks offin the game and TWT 2025 begins for the competitive community.
