Fahkumram Returns in TEKKEN 8
Making his first appearance in TEKKEN 7, Fahkumram is back with his hard-hitting Muay Thai style. His return bumps the TEKKEN 8 roster up to 38 fighters and gives you another heavy-hitting option for close-range battles.
He’s now available to everyone as part of the latest update. Bandai Namco also released a gameplay trailer showing off his powerful kicks and combos, along with a behind-the-scenes video, shown below, with producer Michael Murray discussing the character’s design and background.
In TEKKEN 8, Fahkumram continues his story of forced underground fighting and personal revenge, carrying over his intimidating presence and unique stance-switching attacks from TEKKEN 7.
PAC-MAN Turns 45, and Atelier Joins the Fight
TEKKEN 8’s summer update also includes two unexpected crossovers. First, there’s a brand-new stage celebrating PAC-MAN’s 45th anniversary. The PAC-PIXELS arena features retro visuals, a maze-inspired layout, and plenty of 8-bit flair pulled straight from the arcade classic. It adds a bit of classic arcade charm to the mix.
The update also kicks off a crossover with Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land. This collab adds a set of free cosmetic items inspired by the Atelier series, including a hair accessory, a Puni customization item, an avatar T-shirt, a profile background, and a themed title plate set.
The TEKKEN 8 Summer DLC Is Live
The TEKKEN 8 Summer DLC is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The update includes Fahkumram as a playable character, a brand-new PAC-MAN-themed stage, and a full set of free Atelier Yumia cosmetics for all users.
This isn’t a small patch. It brings new content and fun extras that add more variety to the experience. Whether you’re here for the fights or just want to brawl in a PAC-MAN maze, this update gives you a few solid reasons to jump back in. Bandai Namco continues to support TEKKEN 8 with new characters, crossover items, and themed stages. If you’ve been waiting for an excuse to return, this summer drop is a good time to check back in.
