Bandai Namco announced before of the launch of Tekken 8 that Eddy Gordo will be joining the roster as part of the inaugural season pass. Now, a dataminer has some thoughts about what else Season 1 will bring.
Tekken 8 Leaks
A reliable leaker known as Shootmans revealed some information he discovered on Twitter. The same leaker is notorious for refuting and validating previous leaks during Tekken 8’s Closed Network Test, making the following rumors more plausible.

For those unfamiliar, I confirmed and debunked several leaks during the CNT (see quote tweet). I will be using the same methods for this.

The first character might be Craig Marduk from Tekken 4. This is the notion put out by shooters when they saw Australia listed in the statistics for Tekken 8. The Australian was an unbeaten Vale Tudo champion before being embroiled in a controversy that resulted in murder.
The second probable character is Fakumram from Tekken 7. According to Shootmans, Tekken’s archives contain data referencing a Muay Thai fighter from Thailand, which corresponds to Fakumram’s history.
Lidia, another speculated character from Tekken 7, is also expected to appear in Season 1 DLC, according to Shootman. She is the lone character from Poland, therefore he formed the link based on the information he discovered.
When Is Anna Williams Returning to Tekken 8?
Based on the information gathered, shootman theorized that reported returning combatant Anna Williams would not appear in Season 1.
The assassin had been reported to join the Tekken 8 roster, but it appears it will not happen until a later season. She will most likely be launched with a fighter codenamed AK.
Until Tekken 8, each season looks to last a year, implying that no further DLC fighters will be released until 2024. We won’t see Anna Williams for a while, maybe not until 2025.
