We now have the full name of Tekken 7‘s upcoming DLC fighter: Lidia Sobieska. Bandai Namco recently released physical press kits with the character’s name. The press box also contains a letter from Heihachi Mishima addressed directly to the new fighter. Lidia Sobieska will apparently be released in the early spring of 2021.

Bandai Namco Increases Lidia Promotional Efforts Tekken 7. In the press kit is a letter from Mishima Zaibatsu CEO Heihachi Mishima himself. It gives a little extra attention for people to think about. In remembrance, the new DLC fighter is the Prime Minister of Poland in Tekkentheir universe.
According to the letter from Heihachi, Lidia requested that the Tekken Force deployed in Poland be removed. The CEO said he did not intend to comply with her request, but that he admired her for reaching her position at such a young age. Although the letter reads heartily, it is a threat in a typical Heihachi way. The difficult position that Lidia has placed in Mishima Zaibatsu will be her motive for participating in the King of the Iron Fist tournament.
