Publisher and developer Bandai Namco has shared a new Tekken 8 gameplay trailer, this time reintroducing the actual bear Kuma.
To be clear, this Kuma is actually Kuma II, the son of the first Kuma (who appeared in the first two games). Both Kuma’s were bodyguards to Heihachi Mishima.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus the new trailer:
