    Tekken 8 Reveals Returning Character Bryan Fury

    The Harbinger of Chaos.

    During Combo Breaker 2023, Bandai Namco announced Bryan Fury is making his return as a playable fighter in the upcoming release of Tekken 8. Bryan Fury manages to escape death multiple times due to his cyborg capabilities and sheer tenacity.

    The previous entry, Tekken 7, describes Bryan Fury as a ruthless fighter with an aggressive kickboxing fighting style. The former police officer has reportedly died twice in the Tekken series, but he’s come back once more for Tekken 8. A perpetual generator devised by Dr. Abel and Dr. Bosconovitch seems to keep him alive. 

    Thus far, the roster of Tekken 8 includes Kazuya Mishima, Lars Alexandersson, Jun Kazama, Jin Kazama, KingNina Williams, Paul Phoenix, Marshall Law, Ling Xiaoyu, Leroy Smith, Asuka Kazama, Lili, Hwoarang, and Bryan Fury. Moreover, Tekken 8’s character roster has access to the new Heat System, which triggers powerful attacks and enhancements for certain abilities. Tekken 8 features cross-play and rollback netcode according to producer Katsuhiro Harada.
