Bandai Namco revealed that Clive Rosfield from Final Fantasy XVI is the final DLC character for Season 1 of Tekken 8. The trailer debuted at The Game Awards 2024. Clive will be released early for Season Pass holders on December 16, 2024 and the full release will be on December 20, 2024.
In the reveal trailer, we see Clive going up against Jin Kazama in a fiery stage similar to the Liquid Flame fight from Final Fantasy XVI. They share a special intro, with Jin’s single devil wing reflected in Clive showing one of his Phoenix wings. Ifrit plays a part in his moveset, appearing as part of his Rage Art.
Clive isn’t the first Final Fantasy character to make an appearance in Tekken. Tekken 7 featured Noctis from Final Fantasy XV as a playable DLC character. Speculation was high for a Final Fantasy character to appear in Tekken 8, with Tifa from Final Fantasy VII being the biggest fan request.
Clive Rosfield is the final character revealed for the Winter slot of Tekken 8 Season 1. Previous characters have included Eddy Gordo, Lidia Sobieska and Heihachi Mishima for Spring, Summer and Fall respectively.
Tekken 8 is out now for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Clive Rosfield will release on December 16, 2024 for Season Pass holders and December 20, 2024 for general release.
