The TEKKEN 8 Summer DLC is “Thunderstruck” with the return of Fahkumram, a fearsome Muay Thai champion from Thailand who was once a national hero before becoming a victim of government corruption. After being arrested under false charges, he was forced to fight in underground matches to protect his family while enduring constant surveillance and manipulation. In TEKKEN 8, Fahkumram becomes the ultimate weapon on a path of no return to take revenge against the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Fahkumram expands the game’s roster to 38 fighters. Learn about the legendary characters in TEKKEN 8, their histories, and their place in the TEKKEN™ saga on the official TEKKEN 8 roster breakdown.
