Summary
Bob joins Tekken 8 on August 19 for Season 3 pass holders after Bandai Namco unveiled his gameplay before the EVO 2026 finals; wider release follows on August 24.
The trailer showed Bob’s trademark mix of bulk and speed, with rapid flips, kicks and belly-based attacks that long-time Tekken players will recognize.
Roger Jr. is up next, with Bandai Namco saving a full character trailer for EVO France later this year rather than detailing him during Sunday’s reveal.
Season 3’s roster now points to Bob first, then Roger Jr., with guest fighter Yujiro Hanma from Baki also slated to join Tekken 8.
