The special, holiday-themed costumes inTekken 8are split between two packs, with one containing general Halloween costumes and the other focused on lending female members of the roster a more demonic look.
Reviving the fighting game series after nearly a decade,Tekken 8launched as a huge hitin January, holding a Universal Acclaim score of 90 among professional reviewers on Metacritic. Though some recent review-bombing over perceived cash grabs has brought down its user scores somewhat, it’s still enjoying a 70% all-time approval rating on Steam thanks to its intense and intuitive fighting action.
The two packs currently up for offer in the in-game shop are the Grim Reaper Pack and the Seductive Pack, each of which costs 400 TekkenCoins. The Grim Reaper pack contains two costumes that can be applied to male members of theTekken 8roster, the Grim Reaper Hooded Cloak Set and the Skeleton Suit Set, as well as a Grim Reaper Scythe back item that can be applied to any fighter. The Seductive Pack includes the Seductive Long Hair Set, Seductive Attire Set, Devil Headband Set, and Succubus Wings Set. The items in this set can be applied to any female member of the fighting roster and, when combined, provide a look akin to a purple-clad, seductive demon.
