When Paul heard the announcement of The King of Iron Fist Tournament, he entered, seeing the opportunity to face his rival, Kazuya, and prove himself to be the best.

Paul trained with Marshall Law, who would go on to become his good friend, and Lee Chaolan, and remained undefeated in battle until he fought Kazuya Mishima to a draw. Something of a drifter, Paul had no real career, instead making money by streetfighting and taking occasional work as a bouncer while he pursued his real passion: proving himself to be the toughest fighter in the universe.

The newest entry in the story of the blood feud between Kazuya, Heihachi and Jin is sure to be an epic one. Previously, Tekken 8 was one of the games featured in the Nvidia Geforce Now datamine, suggesting that a new title in the series has been planned for quite a while now. The game was first revealed in a 'blink and you'll miss it' teaser during EVO 2022 in August.

Tekken 7 has raked in over 9 million sales after five years of support, introducing a slew of DLC characters and re-establishing the 3D fighting game as one of the best out there in the world. The new game will replace Tekken 7 as the current title in the series – and Tekken 8 got mighty big shoes to fill. 'TEKKEN8 is bringing back old grudges to the new generation – Kazuya, Jin, Paul, King, Law, Lars, Jack-8 and…the return of Jun Kazama!' This family reunion is going to be explosive,' says the blurb for the trailer. Check out the latest Tekken 8 trailer here.
