Tekken 8: Heihachi Mishima is... ALIVE?!!
🕑 Added 2024-07-22 00:46:03 +0000 UTCWell, the Tekken Devs just dropped a bombshell out of left field here on the final day of EVO 2024. After all the silly Chipotle and Nike collab announcements, we finally get an actual Tekken 8 trailer with Harada and Murray doing their usual fake out routine. But the actual content of the trailer was really a surprise. Or was it?
Instead of Fahkumram or Marduk being revealed, we get a trailer showing off additional Story Mode scenes featuring a faction of Tekken Monks, Eddy and Lidia in action and last but not least- the return of a Very Much Alive Heihachi Mishima.
Yes, apparently getting thrown into a volcano still isn't enough to kill the True King of Iron Fist. Hell, it was probably that which brought him back- I think literally being submerged in molten lava was just a rejuvenating sauna for the man. At least, that's what I am thinking.
The Story Mode looks to continue as well what happens with Reina and her new Devil powers- she surely has loyalty to Heihachi, her father. But will she play second fiddle to her old man, or will she actually become a rival to him?
Also, they showed Lidia in quite a few scenes, and some of them while in her Karate Gi, so she is surely going to see action. Hopefully she mains this story, instead of having to rely on Jin and Lars. But I wouldn't be averse to seeing her get KO'ed (at least for a while) along the way.
We'll have to see what happens when the Story Mode continues, assumedly when Heihachi returns to the game in Autumn 2024.
All I can say is, at least the Marduk-Fahk leak seems to have been proven false, or perhaps altered. So who will be the final Season 1 Fighter? Still one of those two, or someone totally new? Perhaps another babe? Hey, stranger things have happened- and have.

Seems like Bison isn't the only one who cannot stay dead. Ah well... I am hoping that either Anna or Julia will be in Season 1 still, heck maybe even Josie/Chloe.

Curious to see Heihachi’s and Reina’s dynamic with each other when the new Story DLC comes out. The Tekken Team will most likely give us a peak at that dynamic during character intros when Heihachi gets another trailer.

SF characters in Tekken 8 would be amazing. I think babes like Julia and Anna will eventually come, I wish they'd add more per year. 4 is too few. As for Reina- AFAIK Heihachi doesn't particularly dislike people with the Devil Gene- he wants it for himself. Reina has it, but she seems to be loyal to him, so they may be allies? Though I do see Heihachi betraying her to get it from her, though that would make him such a dick lol. Who knows- they may actually love each other ln a Father-Daughter way- or evil father daughter way lol

Wasn’t expecting Heihachi. Apparently, the old man is lava-proof like his son 😂. I think Reina is going to be a rival to him since he does not like anyone with the devil gene. As far as DLC babes for female foot fetish material, I would like Josie Rizal, Kunimitsu, Anna Williams, Julia Chang, and any new original female character that Harada can bring into official lore. For female guest characters, I would like Tifa Lockhart and Juri Han. Juri’s Feng Shui Engine would work great with Tekken’s heat mechanic. Plus, her feet would look spectacular with Tekken 8 graphics and the foot mods!
