It’s a small update, but the changes are meaningful if you play Lidia or love classic costumes and hilarious avatars.
The newest update for TEKKEN 8 is already available for all the players, with patch notes shared for version 1.06.02. It’s not as substantial as Patches 1.04 and 1.05, which changed movesets for all the characters and improved defensive mechanics (such as side-step properties). TEKKEN 8 Patch 1.06.02 just adds new elements to the main 1.06 update — which introduced Lidia, Photo Mode, etc.
In this post, we highlight the new items in the TEKKEN Shop. Are they worth spending TEKKEN Coins? Also, we discuss the changes in the moves of Lidia Sobielska. How significant are they for the character?
Classic costumes for Lee and Steve
Lee and Steve got their classic costumes with TEKKEN 8 Patch 1.06.02. Both outfits come from Tekken 5.
- For Lee he has his 1P outfit from Tekken 5 with leather pants, gloves and an awesome unicorn on the back of his jacket.
- Steve got his Player 1 outfit from Tekken 5 with golden boxing gloves and British-themed boxing shorts.
One new costume costs 400 TEKKEN COINS. The biggest bundle in the game offers 5,500 TC for $49.99.

Shark avatar
It would certainly be great to have this hilarious Shark as a costume to use in TEKKEN 8 fights. However, Patch 1.06.02 adds it only as an avatar. And it’s pretty good, with a variety of colors for different characters.
TEKKEN 8 Patch Notes 1.06.02: Nerfs for Lidia
In a way, these changes to Lidia’s movesets nerf the character. But at the same time, these are not proper nerfs — the adjustments fix the behavior, making the moves work as intended.
- Lidia’s 2+3 during Heat and df+1,2 during Rage got the tracking feature fixed.
- f+1+2,3,1+2 deals the expected combo damage now.
- 2 during Horse Stance doesn’t freeze the Heat time consumption.
That’s all for Patch 1.06.02. For other TEKKEN 8 news and updates, stick around on esports.gg!
