Tekken 8 finally gives a first look at upcoming guest Yujiro Hanma from Baki, and he looks just as grotesque as you'd expect
The main selling point of Tekken 8's Season 3 DLC pass, alongside veterans Kunimitsu, Bob and Roger Jr, is Yujiro Hanma, the main antagonist of fighting manga Baki and father of its eponymous protagonist. Yujiro was initially revealed in May through a trailer made up entirely of panels from Baki, leaving it in question just how a character that looks like that would be adapted into the Unreal Engine 5 hyper-realism of Tekken 8. The answer, apparently, is that Bandai just said fuck it, and let hi

Tekken 8 is adding Bob to its roster and players seem pretty hyped, despite the fighting game's mounting struggles
It's no secret Tekken 8 has been in a tight spot for a good while, despite its strong debut in early 2024. High-profile departures of key staff like Tekken legend Katsuhiro Harada and game director Kohei Ikeda have deepened woes about the game and larger series' future after middling to outright terrible seasonal updates. New characters and patches are on their way, however - and it seems that Bob's long-awaited arrival later this summer could be a major win.

Bob Is Back and Bigger Than Ever in Tekken 8 on PS5
Here's your first taste. Bandai Namco has released the first gameplay footage of Tekken 8 returnee Bob, who’s “bigger than ever” according to his garish tracksuit.

No longer Tekken the p*ss. Well, we didn't see this one coming. When Bandai Namco confirmed that Tekken 8 would be getting a mid-April patch, there were zero expectations — most players just assumed that it would include minor tweaks since it hasn't been billed as a key update.
