Heihachi Mishima Joining Tekken 8 as DLC

Bandai Namco used Evo 2024 to reveal the next Tekken 8 DLC character, and it is Heihachi Mishima. A new trailer also appeared going over recent events in the game, highlighting his past, and bringing up the latest roadmap for extra characters.

The new trailer begins by showing a group of Tekken Monks all training. Their goal is to wipe out the Mishima Zaibatsu. From there, we see other current and DLC characters from the game and hints at the roles they play, like Reina and Lidia. Before Heihachi appears, we see glimpses of him at pivotal moments in the series, especially when it comes to Kazuya. It’s then that he emerges from the fires and the text “The King of Iron Fist Resurrection” appears.
