Summary

  • New cosmetics, potential balance changes, and upcoming fighter King in Tekken 8.

Recently, it’s been announced that the developer, Bandai Namco Entertainment, unveiled a new addition to Season 2 of the Iron Fist Tournament – the Thai kickboxer known as Fahkumram. Whether you’re fond of him or not, this character is set to be the next one released by the developers.

If you’ve purchased the Season 2 Character Pass for the game, you’ll get to play as Fahkumram in no time! We’re excited to share the release date with you. In addition, a fresh video demonstrating Fahkumram’s moves in this version of the fighting game series has been released.

Tekken 8 Fahkumram Release Date And Unlock Times

Bandai Namco has announced that Fahkumram will become accessible through Early Access on July 7, 2025. If you’re not part of the Early Access group, don’t worry – it will be available to everyone else on July 10. Although they haven’t specified a time outside of Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), expect an update for the game when Fahkumram is released. This will likely follow a temporary server shutdown, which is standard procedure for significant Tekken updates.

If Bandai Namco doesn’t alter its server maintenance schedule, gamers can anticipate the game shutting down around 6:30 pm PDT/9:30 EDT (July 7), and this upkeep is expected to continue until 10 pm PDT/1 am EDT (July 8). Soon after the servers are taken offline, a patch update should be accessible. During this downtime, players won’t be able to participate in online matches, but they can utilize offline modes instead. This will provide them with enough time to practice Fahkumram in the training grounds before the maintenance concludes.

As a devoted Tekken enthusiast, I can certainly empathize with why many players find the Thai fighter such a frustrating adversary. When he first appeared in Tekken 7, his skills seemed almost overwhelming, making it challenging for opponents to compete against him effectively.

With Fahkumram joining the mix, you can also anticipate some fresh cosmetics being rolled out, along with potential character bug corrections. Regarding balance adjustments for the fighters, Bandai Namco has confirmed that they are working on one and plan to release it this summer. The developers haven’t specified whether this update will include the balance changes or if it will be in the following patch.

In our lineup, the new addition is known as King, who was previously a downloadable character in Tekken 7, similar to Fahkumram. As soon as we gather more details about this, we’ll make sure to share it with you.
