Don’t count on getting guest characters like Akuma and Noctis in Tekken 8 anytime soon
Don’t expect any guest characters like Noctis or Akuma to pop up in a shiny new Tekken 8 trailer any time soon. According to Harada on Twitter, the team are focused on the other core Tekken characters for now.
This came in response to a request from a user, who asked the director of Bandai Namco’s revered fighting game series for Leon Kennedy and Albert Wesker of Resident Evil fame to be brought into the game. Harada, a man notorious for asking fans not to ask him for shit, responded nonetheless. The user would later make his account private to escape the spotlight.
“There is a character that should be made before the guest character, so please forget about the guest character for now.” Harada responded, candid and to-the-point. The game isn’t even out yet guys, only having recently been played in early alpha tests on physical setups. The central cast of, y’know, Tekken characters aren’t ready yet.
