I like to think that whoever was in charge of designing a final boss for Tekken was a Seinfeld fan. I mean, the resemblance between antagonist Heihachi Mishima and Uncle Leo can’t be a coincidence, right? It makes as much sense as anything in a series that’s brimming with corporate intrigue, demonic possession, and hyper-intelligent bears.
More recently, Bandai Namco has released the opening cinematic from Tekken 7, and Uncle Leo’s doppelganger, Heihachi Mishima, is back for more. Battling his son, Kazuya Mishima, atop an erupting volcano, things don’t go well for Heihachi. If only Cousin Jeffrey were there to help him…
Tekken 7 will be available in Japanese arcades next week, and presumably a PS4 and Xbox One port will follow.
