Poppin' wheelies AND headsBandai Namco has released a new character trailer for its visually stunning fighter Tekken 8, which remains in development for PC and Gen 9 consoles ? This newest preview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCOWceM2nZo&ab_channel=BandaiNamcoEntertainmentAmerica) focuses on one of the long-running franchise's veteran fighters, Paul Phoenix, though perhaps not as we have seen him before.
While clearly the same hot-tempered, road-ripping biker of previous releases, Tekken 8's Paul seems to be leaning far more into his "nomadic drifter" status, trading in his tattered gi for a barely-held-together set of biker leathers, an unkempt, oily beard, and what appears to be a bit more bulk on his towering frame. Perhaps most notably of all, his famous stovepipe flattop has become little more than a floppy fringe, limply dangling over our boy's face. He looks a fucking mess, frankly, but I'm here for it.

Never judge a book by its cover, however, as the trailer still sees Mr. Phoenix laying down his wall-breaking, rib-crushing ways ? still a master of incredibly powerful, single-strike punches and body checks. Phoenix also seems perhaps happier and more confident than he has in recent years, where the franchise has treated him as something of a joke character. Well, it looks like perhaps the comedy is over, and Paul has a punchline for you located right at the end of his balled-up fist.
Tekken 8 is currently in development for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X. It is tentatively expected to launch in 2023. Be sure to check out the previous trailers for Jin Kazama (https://www.destructoid.com/tekken-8-jin-kazama-trailer-character-spotlight/), Kazuya Mishima (https://www.destructoid.com/tekken-8-kazuya-mishima-trailer-bandai-namco/), and Nina Williams.
