Lidia Sobieska will be available in Tekken 8 on July 22, Bandai Namco has confirmed. That date is for players who have the Playable Character Year 1 Pass. The official release date for everyone else is July 25. The fresh trailer shows Lidia in action, with The Warrior Prime Minister dishing out damage using his established karate skills.
Lidia is the second Playable Character in the Year 1 Pass, following Eddy Gordo. Her introduction also sees the addition of the fresh Seaside Resort stage to the game, giving players a nice beach setting to battle in. Both Eddy and Lidia were revealed ahead of their official announcements, and if the leak is 100% exact, the other characters in the Year 1 Pass are Craig Marduk and Fahkumram.
In our Tekken 8 review, Nick wrote: “Tekken 8 kicked off 2024 with a bang, proving once again why this fighting game series is great! It may not be as newcomer-friendly as Street Fighter 6, but it has a ton of modes and fresh improvements that mean it’s on track to becoming a game for all players, venerable and fresh, and will only get better with time.
