Bandai Namco has announced that Bryan Fury will appear in Tekken 8. Twice.
Everyone’s favorite deranged zombie cyborg has been confirmed for this year’s Tekken 8 character roster combo breaker Fighting tournament held over the weekend. The announcement came in the form of the trailer shown above, with the tagline “wild card of violence and destruction.”
But the announcement didn’t go entirely smoothly.As report According to VGC, the trailer was posted to the official Instagram account ahead of schedule and was left idle long enough to start circulating between YouTube channels before being taken offline.
Tekken producer Michael Murray apologized on Twitter for the premature revelation, adding, “@Harada_Tekken and I apologize to the fans who saw this in a way that was not what I hoped it would be.” “I feel sorry for everyone.”
@Harada_TEKKEN and I apologize to the fans who saw the event in a way they didn’t want it to. Sorry to all of you and to the dev team who gave up their weekends to work on it 🙁May 28, 2023
According to VGC, Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada also commented on the leak in a later-deleted tweet, pointing out Bandai Namco Europe’s mistake, saying, “That’s why I posted on Timer years ago. I warned you not to,” he said.
Either way, Brian looks like he’s having a lot of fun in the trailer. Since his appearance in Tekken 3, this character has always stood out with his shocking gray hair and super-aggressive fighting style. He seems to have lost little of his manic ferocity since then, and in the trailer we see Bryan celebrate by locking onto a target with his cybernetic eyes and unleashing a devastating flying punch, then firing a minigun in the air. It shows how to throw a weapon after that. camera.
Tekken 8 was originally announced last June. Bandai Namco has yet to reveal a release date, but has confirmed the return of a number of characters, including Farang, Lars Alexanderson, and Jun Kazama. The latter has not appeared since Tekken 2.
