Tekken is one of the most popular fighting game franchises in the world. The game, developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, is the eighth installment in the Tekken series and promises to deliver a thrilling fighting experience to players.
A new Tekken 8 trailer was released, showcasing the legendary fighter Marshall Law in action. This article will examine the trailer and what it reveals about the upcoming game.
New Tekken 8 Trailer Shows Marshall Law in Action
In this new Tekken 8 clip, Marshall Law, a well-known character, is seen entering the roster of the forthcoming fighting game. Since the first Tekken game in 1995, Law has been a regular in the series and has been in many of its spin-offs.
His lightning-fast martial arts abilities are demonstrated in the video below, along with the nunchaku he now uses in battle. Is that against the rules for the King of the Iron Fist competition? Considering that there are also deadly pandas, advanced military cyborgs, and a family with demonic blood, it’s unlikely.
Marshall Law is an homage to the iconic action star Bruce Lee, as seen in the gameplay video above. Several of his moves are modeled after the actor’s on-screen prowess, and in most Tekken games, Law typically dons attire sported like that of Lee in his few films.
In Tekken 8, Bandai Namco has made multiple parallels to Bruce Lee’s most famous movie, Enter the Dragon. Law’s final move is a near replica of the finisher that Lee did, down to the expression on his face.
In Tekken 8, Law teams up with his former sparring partner Paul Phoenix, who recently debuted a dreadful new hairdo and got his showcase trailer. Both characters have served as comic relief in recent Tekken games.
In Tekken 7, after momentarily defeating Feng Wei in a handicap battle, they staged a tactical retreat from an enraged Feng Wei. Although Tekken 8’s release date is unknown, it will be playable on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
