  • Tekken 8 Season 2 introduces Anna Williams as the first fighter, showcasing her deadly moves.
  • Anna will be making good use of her bazooka in melee and ranged attacks.
  • Fans are excited about the new content in season 2, praising Anna’s design and reunion with her sister, Nina.

Bandai Namco is preparing to unveil a mountain of fresh content for Tekken 8 during its upcoming Season 2, now that the game’s first year has concluded. The initial fighter announced for this new season is Anna Williams. Previously, the Year 1 Pass for Tekken 8 introduced several new characters like Angel Jin, Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo, and Victor Chevalier, as well as the unexpected inclusion of protagonist Clive Rosfield from Final Fantasy 16.

2024 saw the debut of Tekken 8, as indicated by its name, marking it as the eighth major installment in the renowned Tekken series. The narrative is titled “The Dark Awakens” and unfolds six months after the events depicted in Tekken 7, focusing on the confrontation between protagonist Jin Kazama and his father, Kazuya Mishima. Alongside Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, EA Sports College Football 25, and Helldivers 2, Tekken 8 was one of the most popular games sold in 2024, and devotees of the celebrated fighting franchise eagerly anticipate that season 2 will not fall short of expectations.

In the three-minute trailer released by Bandai Namco, we got a glimpse of the new character, Anna, joining the roster. The footage showcased her impressive fighting skills and combos using Scarlet Lightning. It’s also noteworthy that she will be employing her bazooka for both close-range and long-distance attacks. Fans of Tekken are already anticipating with excitement as they have started creating a list of potential DLC characters for Tekken 8’s Season 2, even before its official release. However, fans can look forward to learning more about Anna from March 21, 2025, during the Early Access phase or on April 3, 2025, when the game officially launches.

Tekken 8 Season 2 Reveals Anna Williams as the First Fighter

As a devoted Tekken fan, I’ve noticed that some enthusiasts are hoping for redemption with Tekken 9, aiming to rectify past mistakes. Meanwhile, myself and many others who have been waiting for Tekken 8 are thrilled to see the Williams sisters reunited once more! The community has also showered praise on the fresh design changes.

When it comes to Anna, her fashion sense is truly remarkable, with her jacket being a particular standout. Many agree that Bandai skillfully avoided the “Karen” look by meticulously designing Anna’s haircut to perfection.

Initially introduced in the original Tekken game launched in 1994, Anna made her appearance as the sibling to Nina Williams. With the exception of Tekken 4, she has been a recurring character in all subsequent installments. In Tekken 7, she was presented as a new combatant alongside Lei Wulong. This character is renowned for her abilities as an assassin and martial artist, often seen adorning her red or blue silk gown, and she participated in the first two Iron Fist King tournaments.
