Tekken 8 dominated Evo once again in 2025. Pakistani juggernaut Arslan Ash secured his sixth Evo championship—marking his third consecutive win—while Bandai Namco unveiled an extended gameplay trailer showcasing Armor King, the next DLC character currently in development. The event also featured a brief teaser for Miary Zo, the final fighter slated for Character Pass 2.
Following tradition, I had the privilege of meeting with the Tekken development team to discuss these reveals. We explored whether the resurgence of tag-team fighters might revive interest in the Tekken Tag Tournament series, and examined Tekken 8's current landscape after Season 2's rocky launch and subsequent critical updates.
Below are insights from Tekken 8 Game Director Kohei Ikeda (Nakatsu), Tekken Project Director Katsuhiro Harada, and Producer Michael Murray regarding these topics.
