Tekken warms up fans in the face of what seems to be the announcement of a new installment in the series.
Along with the announcement of a new free update for tekken 7 and holding its own championship, the 2022 EVO could have left the first clues of a new installment of the Tekken series What could it be Tekken-8 or a new spin off. At least, that’s what Bandai Namco seems to tease during Tekken’s promotional video for EVO 2022.
Tekken is still one of the biggest names in the fighting genre and after Tekken 7, released in 2015 on arcade machines, there is already a desire to see what Katsuhiro Harada’s team is capable of doing for the new generation of consoles and fighting games. Tekken 7 was the first game in the series to use the Unreal Engine, we’ll see how far the technology pushes a possible new installment.
The promotional video of EVO 2022 published by the official Tekken Twitter account, apart from phrases like “prepared for the next battle”, ends in a very special way. As a look back at the past and the older fans, we see the famous scene where Kazuya walks off a cliff and dumps his father Heihachi’s body.only when he looks at the camera the scene changes and it’s a totally new Kazuya who smiles This has been interpreted by most fans as a preview that a new installment of the series is underway and could be announced during EVO 2022.
