Katsuhiro Harada, the producer on the upcoming and pretty decent looking Tekken 7 has said that the game’s story is “too dark, but stay tuned” to an excited fan over Twitter, possibly hinting towards the importance of plot in Tekken 7. With that being said, the games have never really been strong on the side of plot and ultimately are only played for their solid fighting mechanics.
Although this game has been confirmed as being the end chapter in the ongoing conflict between series characters Kazuya and Heihachi who are the only characters that many players know have a story line. Despite the abundance of fighter games out there, Tekken has always been one of the popular and competitive fighters on the market. Hopefully this darker spin on the series will lift it to another level.
But if this is supposed to close the Kazuya and Heihachi conflict story, does that mean that we’ll see one of the games most iconic character die?
