Check out the new launch trailer for Lidia here:
In the Tekken 7 story, Lidia is the Polish Prime Minister who has demanded Heihachi Mishima to withdraw Tekken Force troops stationed in Poland. In response, Heihachi brushed off her request, and instead invited to participate in the King of Iron First Tournament to “propose her request directly to him.”
As for her fighting style, Lidia uses a Polish style of Karate. Based on the gameplay shown in the trailer, it seems that she’s quite quick and powerful.
Lidia will release in Tekken 7 tomorrow, March 23, 2021. She will be available for Season 4 Pass holders that’s priced at USD 14.99 (PHP 599.95 on Steam in the Philippines). The Season 4 Pass also includes the previously-revealed Kunimitsu and the Vermilion Gates stage.
