The release of Tekken 8 approach and communication of Bandai Namco therefore logically intensifies around the fighting game. After warming us up by offering us a demo, followed by a trailer for the mode History making you want to play it, and more recently the introductory cinematic where the first fighter in Eddy Gordo DLC was revealed, it is a very unique video which has just been broadcast. Without its last seconds showing gameplaywe would have had difficulty identifying the game as the video seems insipid to us…
Bandai Namco therefore chose a trailer live-action which is reminiscent of the one broadcast before the release of Mortal Kombat 1, but unfortunately without having the same effect on us. While a well-publicized professional fight is about to take place and the two adversaries are eyeing each other during a conference in front of the media and fans present on site, literally face to face, the public gradually gathers all around …Yes, it makes no sense and it’s difficult to see the connection with the very essence of Tekken. Only the passage in the arcade room is enough to make you think of the new mode Arcade Questbut it’s not crazy.
Along the way, some celebrities from the e-sports scene appear, namely Arslan “Ash” Siddique, Justin Nelson Stennett aka KingJaeour Norman Chatrier aka Geni1us national, Arja Gamoori aka Sephiblack And even Hafþór Björnsson, well known in his role as The mountain of Game Of Thrones.
Here’s what the publisher says:
Directed by Lukas Tielke, the trailer returns to the key values of Tekken 8 and the great thrill felt by all players as they approach a fight or competition. This spectacular video illustrates how the passion for combat can unite people of all ages and cultures and virally affect both novices and professional players. She also explains how the Tekken franchise has brought players together for over 30 years around the notions of competition, combat and fun.
The campaign will be broadcast on several social networks, on television, in cinemas, on billboards and more.
