Considering the UK just voted in pasty former lawyer Keir Starmer, we’re a little jelly Poland’s prime minister looks like Lidia Sobieska – well, at least in Tekken 8, anyway. The character is being added to the PS5 fighter’s roster from 22nd July for Year 1 Pass owners, while everyone else will be able to purchase her from 25th July.
The newcomer will be accompanied by a big update, which will see various bugs squashed – although curiously, there’ll be no balance update this time. The patch will also include a brand-new, summer-themed Seaside Resort stage, which has a day-night cycle that progresses throughout the course of each encounter.

We loved Tekken 8 when it launched, awarding it a 9/10 in our review: "Tekken 8 is a modern fighting game masterclass. It doesn't skimp on single player modes, its online offering is robust, and it's a serious visual spectacle. But most importantly, the battles are brilliant; accessible yet deeply technical, and supremely satisfying to be a part of — perhaps more so than ever before."

I was so confused thinking this was a real person for a second lmao!
@BlaizeV All according to keikaku!
@BlaizeV it's the SECOND time i've been momentarily baffled by this. Last time I had to Google it. lol
She looks really strong... maybe a bit too strong even.
Having representation in a game you play is fun though (I'm Polish myself)
This article confused the hell out of me. At least it's given me a want for a world leader fighting game. Biden can stun you via confusion.
I am confused by the polish prime minister part. Am I missing something? I thought the polish prime minister was an old white dude.
@TheAmbienWalrus I got that reference! lol
Niezła dupa.
(Aye, that's it, stop pestering me)😂
@TheAmbienWalrus I would buy the game just for Kid Starver!
@AinsleyE He even does that to himself
@WhiteRabbit if it makes you feel any better, I made my Victor custom Canadian in Tekken 8 (gave him a red flannel shirt)! 😂
@AinsleyE
"At least it's given me a want for a world leader fighting game."
You have reminded me of an old spitting image game, back on the Speccy (I think). As i remember it, it was not fantastic, but was funny.
@WhiteRabbit
According to Street Fighter 6, here in the UK, London is powered by steam! Lol
Her face looks quite different compare to T7.
@PerpetualBoredom dang you beat me to it
@TheAmbienWalrus lol tool maker fatality
@Rich33 don't tell Khan he will wanna implement it
@AinsleyE Trump would be OP because he would claim victory regardless of the actual outcome.
@KahnArtizt07 that would be hilarious to watch. A lot like Mr. Satan from Dragon Ball fighting against pretty much anyone.
@AinsleyE @KahnArtizt07
This game needs to be called "Nuclear Armageddon", because if certain leaders are not OP, or lose too many times playing as themselves, this will be the result of their strop.
@WhiteRabbit But you already have an entire series dedicated to representing you.
....EA Sports NHL....
@WhiteRabbit Well I guess we could have had our better publishers like Bethesda represent that other America above us, and make an open world game where you ride a moose. But then the moose would have 6 legs, no antlers, and could fly, but then we'd need to find 3 French actors to voice all the moos_es_.
@WhiteRabbit 😂
That's definitely some jawline right there.
Congrats for making some of us Google Poland Prime Minister and be confused as H. Then searching for Lidia Sobieska and we see the deal.
Even after googling, I'm still confused, doesn't help this is the first thing I've read since waking..
I think this article needed to be longer. It’s verging on the ‘makes zero sense’ folks 😂
But just like @DarianStarFrog I’ve also woke up to this haha
I'm glad I googled the name. I thought the actual Poland prime minister is on tekken and not a fictional one. I almost sent to all my friends like a *****
