Who would win in a combat: Karlach or Kazuya? What about Gale vs. no matter Jack mannequin quantity they’re on now? Due to modder D0ct0rSauce on the Tekken 8 Nexus, we do not have to marvel anymore: They’ve finagled all six of Baldur’s Gate 3’s Origin characters into Tekken 8 to duke it out in a decidedly much less flip based mostly, gentlemanly vogue than we’re used to.
Reasonably than the sizable process of implementing them as all new characters, D0ct0rSauce swapped out among the alternate skins of Tekken 8’s pre-existing characters for fashions ripped straight out of Baldur’s Gate 3. Karlach is Azucena, Shadowheart is Jun, Astarion is Lee, Lae’zel is Reina, Gale is Claudio, and Wyll is Shaheen.

D0ct0rSauce shared a pleasant sizzle reel of the mod in motion to the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit. It is as slapstick as you may count on such a mashup to be: Highlights embody Lae’zel squaring off with Kazuya, Astarion and Shadowheart air juggling poor Gale, and Lae’zel slamming Wyll by way of a number of plate glass home windows. RIP to the Blade of Frontiers.
All nice enjoyable, and surprisingly of a chunk with combating video games’ lengthy historical past of visitor spot crossover fighters. Geralt of Rivia’s stint in Soul Calibur strikes me as a very applicable comparability, however that collection has additionally seen Yoda, Spawn, and Tekken’s personal Heihachi Mishima present up for a day within the solar. When you concentrate on it, these huge Baldur’s bucks are simply there for the taking if somebody needed to do an official combating sport cameo. Till that point, you’ll be able to take a look at D0ct0rSauce’s mods over on the Tekken 8 Nexus—every character is à la carte, and so they’ve additionally dropped some Berserk mannequin swaps in there too.
