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.
