Showcased in Fahkumram’s Gameplay Trailer

Bandai Namco announced Armor King as the next DLC fighter after Fahkumram. The Season 2 pass, highlighted in Fahkumram’s gameplay trailer, revealed the return of the fierce masked wrestler to the King of Iron Fist tournament.

In a May 26 post on Twitter (X), Bandai Namco released a dedicated video spotlighting Armor King’s reveal. His updated design features his iconic armor, now adorned with gold accents and chains, paired with a fur-collared coat. He also performs his signature flame-breath taunt.
