The roar of Armor King and Mairy Zo gameplay trailer

Beyond the competitive excitement, Evo France features a highly anticipated reveal. According to the official teaser from Bandai Namco Entertainment, the gameplay trailer for Mairy Zo will be shown right before the top 8 brackets.

This girl from Madagascar is the next TEKKEN 8 DLC character. Her facial features caused some discussions in the community, and the developers changed them substantially.

The roar of Armor King is almost heard in the online matches! He comes to save the TEKKEN 8 players from the common frustration of Season 2 and disappointment from receiving Fahkumram as a DLC. The release date is Oct. 14.

There will be only four Master-tier qualifiers left in the TWT 2025 after Evo France 2025. Super Tournament 2025 is arguably the most interesting among them, as it happens in Korea. This country is well known for its exceptional TEKKEN competition!
