What’s more, the game’s next returning character has also been confirmed, and it’s none other than Armor King! Originally making his debut in the very first Tekken, Armor King started out as a friendly rival to King I, and returned in Tekken 2 before disappearing until Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. However, it later transpired that was not the original Armor King, but his brother; the original masked wrestler was killed by Craig Marduk in a bar brawl.

Armor King is set to launch this fall for Tekken 5, and will be followed by a brand new character and a new stage later in the year. Tekken 8 is now available for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
