Tekken 8 releases in two weeks but that hasn’t stopped Bandai Namco from announcing the first DLC for the game.

Longtime Tekken character Eddy will be the games first DLC to release in Spring 2024 and will be followed by 3 more characters during the year.

Maybe I’m just being old fashioned but if DLC is announced before a game launches isn’t that just an admission that the game isn’t finished?

I’m a firm believer that any DLC that is announced prior to launch or worse, is included on the disc but locked until you hand over more cash should be included in the full game.

    You don’t work on a game two weeks before release. The game is already finished (gold) then and you work on day 1 patch stuff (QA and programmers) and DLC stuff (designers, artists, programmers) if applicable.
