Bandai Namco has released a two-minute gameplay trailer that focuses entirely on the modern version of Tekken 8’s King. King is one of the characters that has appeared since the first Tekken series was released.

In the trailer, King appears wearing the iconic Jaguar mask, cape, and costume of a contemporary wrestler. In addition to his unique costume, he also appears with a mic as if he is hosting a viral wrestling event with the words “King the Iron Fist Tournament”.

In this version, King is armed with powerful punches and kicks. In addition, there is also a signature chain combo with an epic grapple. He also taunts in some attacks, making this character very difficult to fight.
