Tekken 8’s Garbage Human Bryan Fury Got Revealed Earlier Than Planned
Bryan Fury has reappeared as a playable character in Tekken 8, but unfortunately, not as Tekken’s producers intended.
Bandai Namco have accepted the early reveal, and so the official trailer is live on their YouTube channel. However, this did not stop Project Tekken General Manager Katsuhiro Harada to lash out on Twitter.

For those who don’t know Tekken’s story, Bryan was originally a Hong Kong police officer, who secretly had connections to drug smuggling. Lei discovered those connections, and Bryan was killed in a shootout with police, possibly by Lei himself.
Bryan is already a resurrected zombie/cyborg in his debut in Tekken 3, thanks to the work of mad scientist Doctor Abel.

In his ending, he is saved by Yoshimitsu, who brings him to Dr. Bosconovitch. Bosconovitch successfully prolongs his life by adding a perpetual power generator in his body.
