Tekken 8 Brings Heihachi Back From the Dead This Autumn 2024; Tekken World Tour Finals Schedule Revealed

While everyone thought Heihachi died in Tekken 7 from the hands of his son Kazuya, it seems we are all mistaken! Heihachi Mishima is alive and will be making his way to Tekken 8 this autumn!

This was revealed by Bandai Namco Entertainment at Evo Fighting Championships this weekend, where we also get the first trailer for the character.

Yeah, as one might expect, you really can’t kill anyone permanently in comics. movies and in games apparently. Not complaining since the character is my fave Tekken fighter.

Not familiar with how Heihachi died? Long story short: Kazuya fought him in Devil form in the mouth of a volcano, and once he was defeated, Kazuya threw Heihachi in the magma (seems familiar?), while reciting the words Heihachi had taught Kazuya to live by which was “All that matters is who’s left standing, nothing else.”

Alongside the Heihachi annoucement, Bandai Namco also revealed that the Tekken World Tour Finals 2024 will be held from Dec. 5 to Dec., 8 in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan!

GET READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE.
