The latest character trailer for Arika and Bandai Namco’s TEKKEN 8 puts the spotlight on the Master of Salmon Kuma.

Utilizing a Kuma Shinken original fighting style, this character featurs some moves from the Jack series of robots along with a number of unique strikes.

In true bear fashion, Kuma also features a “hunting” mode that allows him to go on all fours, changing up his moveset. Kuma also keeps players on their toes with longer arms, a nonstandard hitbox, and high-damage mixups.

Set six months after the events of TEKKEN 7, TEKKEN 8 will feature Jun Kazama as a major focal point of the overall story. Taking advantage of Unreal Engine 5, all characters will now have visible dirt and bruises after taking damage in each battle, adding to the overall experience.

Players can get ready for the next battle when TEKKEN 8 comes out for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on January 26. A demo is available for the game via Steam as of this writing – all those interested can grab it via the official TEKKEN 8 Steam page.
