The Return of the Warrior Prime Minister
Lidia Sobieska, the “Warrior Prime Minister” of Poland, made her debut in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution. In Tekken 8, she continues to impress with her powerful and precise karate moves. The newly released gameplay trailer showcases her dynamic fighting style, characterised by swift punches, agile dodges, and devastating kicks.

She demonstrates exceptional skill in close combat, utilising a mix of quick jabs, powerful strikes, and fluid movement to outmaneuver her opponents. The trailer highlights several key interactions with other characters, such as her confrontations with Jin Kazama and Reina.
One of the most striking features of Lidia’s gameplay is her Rage Art. This special move incorporates visual elements inspired by Poland’s national flag, with splashes of red text against a stark white background, making it a visually impactful attack.
