Bandai Namco made their big reveal yesterday during The Game Awards and announced the final DLC character set to join Tekken 8 via its first year of content. Clive Rosfield, the main protagonist from Final Fantasy XVI, is entering the ring with sword and phoenix flames in hand, and he’s set for early access release next week.
After the big unveiling, the company followed up with some announcements over on their social media platforms that detail some of the other content we can expect to be available in-game soon. Two Final Fantasy XVI collaboration packs are set to be added to the in-game shop that will grant players access to several Final Fantasy-themed customization items.
Now, the official Tekken Twitter account shared a series of tweets that disclose the contents of the two upcoming collaboration packs. There’s the “Joshua Rosfield” pack, as well as the “Jill Warrick” pack that you can purchase each netting you different in-game items.
The tweets state outright that these two item packs are available now in Tekken 8, but after checking myself on PC and seeing several responses to the thread saying the same thing, it doesn’t appear that these items are actually available in the in-game shop at the time of writing this.
These tweets were posted yesterday during the time of the Clive reveal, so there’s a good chance that the tweets are simply mistaken and that the contents won’t actually go on sale until next week when Clive is added to the roster.
All of that having been said, the Joshua collaboration pack includes a character costume set called “Undying Red” that seemingly lets you dress your favorite fighters in a similar getup to Joshua in Final Fantasy XVI.
In addition to this, you’ll also receive a new Tekken Ball… ball that transforms it into a red Bomb King, as well as a little Moogle clled “Nektar the Bold,” which will likely be one of the floating customization items you can equip that sees the creature follow you around as you fight.
The “Jill Warrick” pack offers similar, but different goodies. With this pack you’ll score an “Icy Blue” costume also inspired by Final Fantasy XVI, as well as a Clive avatar skin and a blue Bomb King, again, for Tekken Ball.
If you want these items for yourself, you can expect to pay 500 Tekken coins each for either pack.
