Bandai Namco Entertainment has revealed the Season 1 roadmap for its fighting game, Tekken 8, confirming the game’s second DLC character.

The Tekken 8 Season 1 roadmap offers a look at the new content players can expect in the months to come, which includes battle adjustments, free additions and second DLC character, Lidia Sobieski.

This spring, the Tekken 8 development team at Bandai Namco Entertainment will make adjustments to battles to enhance game balance and the overall player experience. This includes character-specific balance changes. During the summer, the first free updates will be rolled out, including a new stage, the Seaside Resort, and a Photo Mode.

In autumn, a new Story featuring Eddy Gordo will be added to Tekken 8 for free. Meanwhile, additional modes like Ghost vs. Ghost and Online Practice will be added at a later date. Lidia Sobieski, the Prime Minister of Poland, returns in Tekken 8 this summer, with early access for Character Year 1 Pass owners.

The Tekken World Tour will continue after EVO Japan, where players worldwide will compete for points and a chance to qualify for the tournament finals. Details in this regard are available on the official Tekken World Tour website.

As for who the third DLC character in Season 1 of Tekken 8 may be remains a mystery, though if rumors that previously leaked Lidia’s arrival are to be believed, it may end up being the laid back Hong Kong detective Lei Wulong.

The previous character balance changes made to Tekken 8 came with update 1.003.002. Changes were made to certain moves for characters including Azucena, Eddy, and Zafina. Full patch notes are available here.

Previously, it was reported that players indulged in plugging during online matches in Tekken 8 have been getting banned. Those who have been banned due to plugging in online matches will be greeted with a message that informs them about the severity of their violation of the End User License Agreement (EULA) with respect to online matches in Tekken 8.
