Even the best story-based fighting games tend to have some rather confusing storylines, and the Tekken franchise is no exception. Seemingly being well aware of this fact, Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for the upcoming Tekken 8, this time around hoping to summarise and explain the story of Tekken leading up to the events of the next entry. Check it out below.
The trailer features Brian Cox—known for his work in various films and TV shows like Braveheart and Succession—who tries his hand at explaining the story of Tekken. The trailer then goes on to recap the central storyline of the Tekken franchise, leading up to right before the events of Tekken 8, in around five minutes.
For those that might be looking forward to dipping their toes in the fighting game, Tekken 8 currently has a demo available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The demo features the first chapter of the game’s story mode, as well as Chapter 1 of Arcade Quest.
Bandai Namco has revealed that the demo has been quite successful for Tekken 8, with pre-orders having seen a steady increase since the demo’s release. Tekken 8 is slated for release on January 26, and will be coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. For more details, here are our thoughts on why you should look forward to Tekken 8.

Publisher Bandai Namco and developer Spike Chunsoft Co., Ltd. have revealed 24 fighters for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, and they're all Goku and Vegeta. Unsurprisingly, considering Goku and Vegeta are the two main characters in the Dragon Ball Z saga (amongst others like Gohan, for example), Spike Chunsoft is giving players the chance to fight using their various forms. This includes Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, Majin Vegeta, and more.
Tekken 8 launched last week on the back of plenty of excitement and widespread critical acclaim, and the fighter’s sales seem to be reflecting its critical success. In the UK, at least, the game has got off to a remarkably better start than another recent major fighting release.
The first few weeks of 2024 have thoroughly dispelled the notion that this year was going to be a slower one than the last one, with a string of several excellent new games already having launched in January.

Tekken 8 is off to a solid start on Steam, as it has surpassed the previous game's concurrent player count on the platform. Tekken 8 is the eighth mainline game in the long-running fighting game franchise, being touted as the grand finale of the Mishima Family storyline. A number of impressive fighting games were released in 2023, with major releases like Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 being praised by fans and critics alike. With that in mind, Tekken 8 had a lot to live up to, and fortunately it seems to be doing just that.
Almost nine years after the previous game’s launch, Bandai Namco’s Tekken 8 is out now for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Developed on Unreal Engine 5, it continues the saga of the Mishima clan, with Jin Kazama battling Kazuya Mishima.
