“Succession” star promotes Tekken 8

Bandai Namco has brought in actor Brian Cox to recap the story ahead of the major release of the fighting game Tekken 8.

Brian Cox starred in the TV series “Succession”, which swept multiple Golden Globe awards this year, and is also known for acclaimed films such as “Troy”, “The Bourne Identity”, “Braveheart”, and many others.

The actor will walk players through the game’s events and provide a narrative recap ahead of the release. The studio reported having created the most ambitious story mode in the history of the franchise.

Brian Cox is unlikely to have a lasting connection to the Bandai Namco universe, but over his long career, the actor has proven he knows how to deliver compelling speeches. He recently became the host of “007: Road to a Million”, the first TV show connected to James Bond.
