Bandai Namco has confirmed the release date of Kunimitsu as a new downloadable character for Tekken 8 Season 3. Season pass holders can download her starting May 27, while the general public will have access from June 1. The title is available on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The company also released a new trailer for the character in both English and Japanese versions.
Animation and mechanics: the return of a ninja style with technical improvements 🎮
Kunimitsu returns with her signature ninja style, combining fast movements and aerial attacks. The character includes new animations that leverage the Tekken 8 graphics engine, with smoother transitions between combos and an improved cancel system. From a technical standpoint, her move set prioritizes speed and evasion, with a focus on distance control. The developers have adjusted her startup frames to offer a more balanced experience in competitive matches.
The ninja arrives late, but with the season pass you skip the queue 😏
As is tradition in modern fighting games, those who paid for the season pass get Kunimitsu a week earlier than everyone else. So if you're one of those waiting until June 1, you'll have time to watch others mess up their combos and learn from their mistakes. Or just watch them wreck you online. Anyway, patience is a virtue, or so they say, those who already have the character.
