Tekken 8 continues to show the muscle of the fighters that will be part of the launch roster. After Jin Kazama, Marshall Law, and Paul Phoenix, Bandai Namco demonstrates King's potential. The famous fighter with the tiger mask can be seen doing combos of all kinds. His strength is unleashed. We see him fight in an MMA cage performing moves that match wrestling. You can see the trailer below.

Tekken 8, "fists meet fate"

The new installment of the long-running franchise has been dropping news constantly. At the moment we know the participation of 9 fighters, although more will be known as the months go by. Jun Kazama, Lars Alexandersson, Jack-8, King II, Paul Phoenix and Nina Williams also join the previously named fighters.

Katsuhiro Harada once again assumes leadership of the title that will coincide in time with Street Fighter 6, which is scheduled to be released on June 2. While Capcom is already shaking up the genre, Tekken 8 still keeps its date up in the air. Of course, we already know the platforms it’s coming to: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

At MeriStation we were able to interview the creator a few days before his appearance at The Game Awards 2022. During the talk we were able to speak about some mechanics that will take center stage in it: "We cannot give many details yet, but in general we want to explain that the game system seeks to reward players for being offensive: if you look at fighting games in general today, you see that in opponents of a similar level, it is difficult to have many offensive elements because it is difficult to open the defense of your enemy, so we want the system to reward these risks, that they feel that if they risk it they have more options to win and have a good time”.
