The addition of Tekken 8 Eddy Gordo to the roster of fighters has been eagerly anticipated since he was announced as a DLC character, and as of April 2024 he is now available in the game. Fans will already be familar with Eddy as he has been a regular fixture of every instalment since Tekken 3, and his fighting style of Capoeira – a blend of martial arts and dance, music, plus acrobatics – makes him interesting to watch and distinctive against the initial line up of 32 fighters. If you want to add him to your squad, then here's everything you need to know about Eddy Gordo in Tekken 8.
