Matters are about to get a hell of a lot more political in Bandai Namco’s Tekken 7 today, as brand new character Lidia Sobieska, who just so happens to be the Prime Minister of Poland, just the 3D fighter’s huge roster of stylish sluggers. Sobieska arrives as part of Tekken 7‘s fourth season of DLC, following on from ninja-lass Kunimitsu II.
Lidia Sobieska is the descendant of two powerful figureheads in Polish politics: her grandfather, who was the Prime Minister of the country before her, and her father, who himself was a high-ranking official. When Lidia was a child, a failed assassination attempt on her grandfather resulted in the loss of her own father’s life, which instilled a deep desire for stoicism and justice within the young girl.
