Bandai Namco dropped a new trailer this morning for Tekken 8 as we get our first official glimpse into the game's storyline. The long and bloody story between the Kazuma and Mishima families has been the focal point of the game, and has become so iconic that it even has a Guinness World Record for being the longest-running narrative in video game history. So it should be no surprise that we're picking up shortly after the fall of Heihachi during Tekken 7. Along with the trailer, which you can check out below, the company revealed they will be holding a special demo event hosted by WWE's Xavier Woods. We have the details of that event for you down at the bottom.
Tekken 8: The Dark Awakens
The Dark Awakens in this next chapter. After Heihachi's defeat, the world has descended into chaos, with Kazuya Mishima's power growing and his G Corporation wreaking worldwide havoc. The only one who can stop him is his own son, Jin Kazama, but only if he can reignite the unspeakable power of the Devil Gene that runs through his veins. Players will experience the Tekken saga as never before with stunning visual detail and all the features coming to Tekken 8, engaging in heart-pounding battles featuring completely remodeled characters, destructible environments, and an all-new "Aggressive" battle system that keeps the action at a high level.
