Tekken 8 Brings Back Kunimitsu on PS5 with a Fiery Twist
Tekken 8 is adding Kunimitsu II as its next DLC character, becoming the debut fighter in the game’s current Character Pass season. The masked ninja specialist will be available to Season 3 Character Pass owners starting May 27, with individual purchase available from June 1 for other players.
This marks Kunimitsu II’s return to the fighting game franchise following her introduction as post-launch DLC in Tekken 7. While she retains many signature moves from her previous incarnation, the character comes equipped with new techniques, most notably the ability to breathe fire—a dramatic addition that reflects deeper connections to Tekken’s established lore.
The character’s comeback exemplifies Bandai Namco’s approach to seasonal content, blending fan-favorite returning fighters with fresh mechanics to maintain engagement across both competitive and casual player bases on PlayStation 5.
