'Tekken 8 Season 2 Kicks Off With Anna Williams' Epic Return in Spring DLC Update

Tekken 8's first season pass welcomed Eddy Gordo, Lidia Sobieska, Heihachi Mishima, and Clive Rosfield. As we're underway with Season 2, Anna Williams will enter as the first DLC character as part of the Spring DLC update.

If you have played the previous "Tekken" installments, Anna is a familiar face you see every day. Although she's overshadowed by several more powerful characters, she will remain the "Scarlet Lightning" we all know about.

Anna Williams is one of the OGs in the "Tekken" gaming scene. She is one of the most notable characters from the first "Tekken" game (1994) along with limited selections such as Armor King, Devil Jin, Ganryu, Heihachi, Jack, Kazuya, King, Kuma, Kunimitsu, Law, Lee, Michelle, Paul, Prototype Jack, Wang, Yoshimitsu, and his sister Nina.

The good news for Anna fans is that "Scarlet Lightning" is making a grand comeback as the 37th playable character in "Tekken 8." We expect to see one more returning character and one brand-new challenger this Season 2.

How to Get Early Access to Anna Williams

Customers with the Season 2 Character Pass or the Season 2 Character and Stage Pass will receive a 72-hour head start access to Anna from today, according to GameFragger.

For all the others, she will arrive in the April 3 patch. This way, avid fans will have an exclusive opportunity to get a hang of Anna's deadly moves ahead of the competition.

New 'Tekken 8' Season 2 Bundles

To mark the beginning of Season 2, Bandai Namco has launched two new game bundles, including the Deluxe Edition and the Ultimate Edition. Here, you can access all-new content that will make you battle-ready for the Spring DLC.

Anna's Storyline: A Fierce Rivalry Continues

Anna Williams returns with vengeance in her heart. Still bitter towards her sister, Nina Williams, she recruits Dr. Nakamura, a weapons expert, to help her develop a new high-tech gadget aimed at annihilating her enemies. This brings forth the birth of "Lovely Tom", a transformable small yet lethal weapon created for optimum destruction.

Since "Tekken 8" is leaning on a more improved moveset, players can expect to see Anna Williams in a fashionable new appearance, as seen in her gameplay trailer.
