“#TEKKEN8 Patch 3.03.01 drops on Nov 11 at 23:00 CET | Nov 11 at 14:00 PST Head over to the patch notes to read about Roger Jr. Early Access, unintended behavior corrections, and update contents for the TEKKEN SHOP.” — @TEKKEN
Roger Jr. leads the update
The headline addition is Roger Jr. Early Access. The boxing kangaroo has appeared in earlier Tekken games, and the announcement places his early-access availability at the top of the patch information for Tekken 8.
Early access means the character is being introduced through the update before the wider release described in the game’s full patch information. The announcement directs players to the official patch notes for the details of how the feature works. It does not provide a breakdown of the access period or other conditions in the announcement itself.
Corrections are also part of patch 3.03.01
Patch 3.03.01 also addresses unintended behavior. The update announcement does not identify the affected moves or systems, so players looking for character-specific changes need to consult the official patch notes linked by the TEKKEN account.
- Roger Jr. Early Access is the main addition.
- The patch includes corrections for unintended behavior.
- The Tekken Shop receives new update content.
Tekken Shop content and the PC version
The update also adds content to the Tekken Shop, the in-game store for extra items. The announcement does not list the individual items included in this update. No Philippine pricing or regional availability details are provided in the published information.
