Bandai Namco has published a new Tekken 8 gameplay trailer showcasing the recurring series character Anna Williams. She will be the first Season 2 DLC character, and the company will formally add her to the roster in early April 2025.
The Tekken 8 iteration of Anna will have a more prominent usage of her rocket launcher “Lovely Tom,” which previously only appeared during her super attack in the prequelTekken 7. This will also distinguish her move set further from Nina Williams, who brings a pair of handguns with her.
The new trailer is available to watch with English subtitles up to 1080p on Bandai Namco Entertainment America’s YouTube channel. As a side note, the Japanese-subtitled version of the same trailer on Tekken Channel has additional resolutions up to 4K.
Anna will be the first Tekken 8 Season 2 DLC character appearing in the Spring season of 2025. Bandai Namco has revealed that it will add three more new characters each following season in Summer, Fall, and Winter. It will also have two new stages in the Summer and Winter seasons of 2025.
The seasonal character release will go in line with the first year. Throughout 2024, Bandai Namco gradually added Eddy Gordo in April, Lidia Sobieska in July, Heihachi Mishima in October, and Final Fantasy XVI‘s Clive Rosfield in December.
Tekken 8 is readily available worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Anna Williams will be formally available as the first Season 2 DLC character on April 4, 2025. Players who have purchased the new season pass will be entitled to early access on March 31, 2025, in American time zones or April 1, 2025, in Asian time zones.
