Good Information, Kuma Is Again For Tekken 8

I do know you all have been apprehensive and shedding sleep about this, so I’m completely satisfied to be the one to deliver you this crucial information: Kuma the bear will probably be in Tekken 8.

For these unaware of Kuma, effectively, first off, impolite. And second off, come on now. Kuma the bear is the very best character within the Tekken franchise, showing in every mainline recreation as a playable fighter with implausible ending cutscenes. Critically, a few of the finest and funniest cutscenes within the Tekken franchise star Kuma, typically feuding with sequence huge dangerous Heihachi Mishima. It’s nice stuff. And now this lovable (but additionally harmful) bear is formally confirmed for Tekken 8.

On December 27, Bandai Namco delivered a late Christmas reward within the type of a reveal trailer for Kuma in Tekken 8. Within the newly launched video, the “Grasp of Salmon” is wanting fluffier and deadlier than ever, full with a slick headband and vest. That’s one robust bear, people.

Within the video, we additionally see Kuma’s panda counterpart often called…Panda. Not essentially the most authentic identify, nevertheless it works. Like Kuma, Panda has been a fighter in many of the mainline Tekken video games and is usually seen interacting with Kuma in cutscenes.

Maybe the very best a part of this new teaser occurs towards the top, after we see Kuma flip his salmon right into a futuristic cybernetic fish missile and ship it flying into Panda. Tekken is a bizarre franchise, huh?

And sure, I do know that there are technically TWO Kumas within the Tekken sequence, because the one seen in at the moment’s trailer is truly the son of the unique bear featured within the first two video games. This present Kuma grew to become a fighter after his dad died earlier than the occasions of Tekken 3. Yeah, Tekken is bizarre.

However I really like how bizarre it’s and I’m excited to see Kuma’s new ending in Tekken 8 when it launches on January 26, 2024 for Xbox Collection X/S, PS5, and PC.
