Brian Cox, with his distinct ‘tell it like it is’ approach, is poised to clear any fog surrounding the events leading up to this latest game.
The Dark Awakens in TEKKEN 8
TEKKEN 8’s storyline, dubbed “The Dark Awakens,” escalates the stakes significantly. Post-Heihachi’s defeat, the world plunges into chaos, with Kazuya Mishima and his G Corporation causing havoc globally. The game pivots around Jin Kazama, Kazuya’s son, who might be humanity’s last hope against this impending doom, provided he can harness the power of Devil Jin within him.
