Tekken 7’s Fahkumram Joins Tekken 8 as DLC

At EVO Japan 2025, Bandai Namco revealed that Fahkumram, a character who first debuted in Tekken 7, would be the Summer 2025 DLC character for Tekken 8. Around the same time, paid and free Pac-Man themed cosmetics will launch in this Tekken entry. But before that, free Karate Kid: Legends items will show up alongside version 2.02 on June 3, 2025. With the free items, it basically consists of cosmetics for us. We can get a Karate Kid: Legends Hoodie for characters to wear. The vision billboards will also show advertisements for the film. While those are free, a Tiger costume for Kuma and Calico costume for Panda will appear as paid Tekken Shop items around that time. (Free color scheme costumes will appear for both, however.) There will be a Dragunov costume 1 as well for cash. Version 2.03 in Summer 2025 marks the debut of Battle Stage: Pac-Pixels, which is part of the Season 2 Character and Stage Pass. Free Pac-Man Hit Effects will be a part of Fight Pass Round 6, as will a 45th anniversary t-shirt cosmetic, Plushie Ghost Pack, and Pac-Man Ball for Tekken Ball. The paid Fight Pass Round 6 will include a Pac-Man Head, a Ready themed emoji, and a Play themed emoji. As for Fahkumram, his teaser for Tekken 8 is quite small. We see him dropped out of the sky onto the battlefield. After he frees himself from his bindings, he tells the unseen person in front of him that they are his next victim. Here’s the full trailer for the Spring and Summer 2025 additions for Tekken 8, with the Karate Kid freebies coming up before the Pac-Man Pac-Pixels and Fahkumram DLC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KstN80dSn60&ab_channel=BandaiNamcoEntertainmentAmerica The last character DLC for Tekken 8 was Anna Williams. She debuted at the end of March 2025. Lots of announcements came up at EVO Japan 2025 this year. We learned SNK and Good Smile Company are working on a Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves plush of Mai Shiranui. Overwatch 2 is getting Street Fighter character skins in May 2025 too.
