Bandai Namco revealed that the Tekken 8 original soundtrack will be available in both physical and digital formats and Eddy Gordo will be the first DLC character. Eddy will appear in Spring 2024. The digital soundtrack will appear first on the same day as the fighting game’s release date, and the physical album will be released later in March 2024.
Here’s the DLC announcement. Eddy will be the first of four DLC characters in 2024, with one appearing in each season.
The Tekken 8 original soundtrack will contain 42 tracks ranging from in-match BGMs to the Tekken Fight Lounge lobby theme. The tracks will have a combined total length of over 170 minutes.
The physical album will come with many bonus items. Bandai Namco will split the soundtrack into four CDs and contain them in a large jacket that would normally host a vinyl record. It will also come with a large 36-page booklet containing liner notes from the 13-person composer team, including background descriptions for all 16 stages in the game. A sheet containing transparent stickers inspired by all 32 launch characters will complete the set.
The Tekken 8 physical soundtrack will cost 6,800 yen (~$46.65). Pre-orders for the album are immediately available on Amazon Japan, which supports international shipping. Amazon will also offer a tin badge as an exclusive bonus item.
The Tekken 8 digital soundtrack will appear worldwide on the same day Bandai Namco releases the fighting game for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on January 26, 2024. The physical soundtrack will be available on March 13, 2024. The Tekken 8 Eddy Gordo DLC will arrive in Spring 2024.
