What’s coming in TEKKEN 8 Season 2?

The season 2 is all set to drop on April 1, 2025 and here’s what you can expect:

• Anna Williams – The fan favorite fighter returns with her signature style.
• New Practice Stage – A large arena for practicing your combos, with stages that may be swapped out mid-session.
• Battle Tweaks – Ki Charge now increases damage but loses counter-hit status; off-axis strikes now auto-recalibrate for smoother combos (adjustable in options); and Power Crush/Heat Engager combos are now simply Power Crush moves.

The battle tweaks have been done for many fighters in the game. According to game designer Kohei “Nakatsu” Ikeda, these modifications aim to make TEKKEN 8 “more user-friendly,” especially after whiffing issues afflicted characters like Jun and Lidia in Season 1.

Season 2 Battle Changes

• Upgrades to Practice Mode: For more effective training, customize Punishment Settings and post-Ukemi actions (dashes, hops, and crouches).
• Version numbers are shown above the timer (optional).
• Fighter Adjustments: Throw escapes now deliver recoverable damage to all characters.

TEKKEN 8 fans and community are all pretty excited about the new Atelier Yumia Cross-Collaboration and the upcoming season 2. Are you hyped as well? Do share your thoughts with us in the comment section.
