TEKKEN 8 enters Esports World Cup 2025: “[I’ll be] aiming for the trophy again!”

TEKKEN 8 is entering the Esports World Cup 2025 event, making it one of the 25 esports titles selected for the competition.

On March 20, TEKKEN 8 officially entered the 2025 esports lineup. This fighting game joined the other announced titles such as Overwatch 2, Teamfight Tactics (TFT), League of Legends, Chess, and more.

According to a post he made on social media, Lim "Ulsan" Soo-hoon, the TEKKEN 8 champion of last year's event, will be part of Esports World Cup 2025 as well.

"TEKKEN 8! I'll go [to Saudi Arabia] again this year and [I'll be] aiming for the trophy again!" he stated.

In 2024, Ulsan claimed victory with Dragunov and won $300,000 USD. He also became the MVP of the TEKKEN 8 competition, securing another $50,000 USD.

The player went undefeated in the group stages. This was the same in the third phase of the tournament where he went 5-3 and 5-1 before duking it out against Atif "Atif Butt" Ijaz's own Dragunov and sweeping the latter player 5-0. Will Ulsan win another Esports World Cup TEKKEN 8 title? Only time will tell.

Below is every confirmed Esports World Cup 2025 game so far. There are 24 titles as of March 20, which means one more title has yet to be announced.
