Heihachi, Guest Characters, and the Future of Tekken 8 - EVO 2024 Interview

Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken Project Director), Michael Murray (Producer), and Kohei Ikeda (Development Producer and Game Director) joined us for an interview at EVO 2024 in Las Vegas to talk about the return of Heihachi Mishima, their views on guest characters, and the future of Tekken 8. It’s a far-reaching conversation that touches on the positives and negatives of developing a Tekken without an arcade release, the rise of content creator-led tournaments, and how to find the fun in fighting games.
