![]() ![]() Heihachi may be gone in the present, but that doesn't mean he'll stay off of the game's new roster considering they already did that with Kazumi Mishima in Tekken 7, who was also super dead. It does ultimately feel fitting with Tekken 7 wrapping up Heihachi and Kazuya's father-son issues to move on to do the same between Kazuya and Jin doing the same in Tekken 8 - and they've got a lot of issues to work out. Heihachi's fate came a bit into question recently, when Leroy Smith's character profile for Tekken 8 mentioned Mishima as having "disappeared", but that now seems to be fully explained by Kazuya and the G Corp covering the situation. Murray goes on to joke about the idea of an "AI Heihachi," but it sounds like those steering the Tekken ship have closed the book on the elder Mishima's conquest (for now at least). "It's my favorite character, so I was shocked," said Harada. "Heihachi has been dead so many times, you have to make sure it's convincing this time', and we were like, 'you told us to make sure he's dead, right?!'" said Murray about the director's orders. Harada then told Liang that he was surprised at just how hard the team killed off Heihachi, but Murray responds it was an order given to them by Harada himself. "Heihachi had failed to actually convert the devil gene, and he doesn't have it so there's no way he can revive like Kazuya or Jin can." "He looked pretty dead to me," Harada adds. The interviewer, Lu-Hai Liang, attempts to counter that point with Heihachi's attempt to become immortal using Ogre's blood in Tekken 4 and other revivals of the series, but the director sounds pretty convincing that the old man is finally getting his rest. "I don't know how he's not dead, right?" said Murray via TheGamer. TheGamer recently interviewed both Harada and Tekken producer Michael Murray where they specifically asked the lead devs about the fate of the beloved character. ![]()
