Baldur’s Gate 3 Characters Battle to the Death Using Crazy Tekken 8 Mods

A mod for Tekken 8 featuring characters from Baldur’s Gate 3 introduces Astarion, Lae’zel, and others into the iconic King of Iron Fist Tournament.

With the recent arrival of official mod support and Patch 7, Baldur’s Gate 3 is experiencing a vibrant resurgence within the modding community. Players quickly delved into the game’s development toolkit, exploring vast new possibilities.

Modders have already implemented real-time combat dynamics and recreated unique game modes reminiscent of Call of Duty’s zombies. Given the surging popularity of Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s not surprising that creators from other gaming communities are drawing inspiration from it.

This is where Nexus Mods user D0ct0rSauce steps in, having developed a collection of mods that transform the Origin Characters of Baldur’s Gate 3 into playable fighters in Tekken 8. A short trailer posted on Reddit showcases some imaginative scenarios made possible by the mods.

The mods primarily involve basic model swaps, meaning you won’t find unique fighting styles for these Baldur’s Gate 3 characters in Tekken 8. Nevertheless, the thoughtful selection of Tekken fighters chosen as counterparts for Baldur’s Gate characters adds a delightful touch to the experience.

For instance, Astarion perfectly embodies the flamboyant flair of Lee Chaolan, and Karlach’s integration of Azucena’s straightforward MMA technique is another fantastic match. Many players are resonating with these swaps as well.

“Assigning Jun to Shadowheart is clever since her attacks seem to have holy damage,” noted one player commented. Another enthusiast commended the “lore-accurate fighting style of Lae’zel,” particularly after witnessing her execute Reina’s moveset.

Each Origin Character from Baldur’s Gate 3 has distinct mods available on D0ct0rSauce’s Nexus Mods page, enabling fans to download costumes tailored for their Tekken 8 counterparts.

While the sight of a wide-eyed Baldur’s Gate 3 companion squaring off against seasoned Tekken veterans is certainly humorous, the true joy of these mods lies in providing Lae’zel and Shadowheart a vivid avenue to settle their ongoing rivalries.
