Nani?
Tekken 7producer Katsuhiro Harada has gotten fans all in a tizzy once again,after tweeting out an imagefrom theTekkenstudio’s inner sanctum, which sneakily references Sega’sYakuzaseries and its head-bashing protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu.
The tweet is a simple photograph of a picture board, with various bizarre in-game images pinned up, (including a terrifying close-up of robo-gal Alisa). Eagle-eyed fans however have spied that the top-right image features a stage not currently available inTekken 7.Specifically, the background contains the logo of real-life Japanese restaurant Matsuya’s, which itself appears frequently in theYakuzaseries.
While obviously a bit of a reach, fans are curious as to what this stage is, and whyTekken 7would feature such a famousYakuzalocation if Kazuma himself wasn’t putting in an appearance. This conclusion would be easier to ignore if not for the fact that Kazuma haslongbeen requested by fans as a potentialguest character. Not only that, but Bandai Namcodidhave a content revealplanned for the now-cancelled EVO Online event.
Of course, it should also be noted that Harada, much like fellow fight-meisters Ed Boon and Yoshinori Oro, is known for sneaky troll-jobs. So until anything official is confirmed, I’d take this with the largest grain of salt imaginable. Still, the fact remains that Kazuma Kiryuisa perfect fit for theTekkenfranchise… And they do love their guest fighters… Damn, now y’all got me daring to dream…
Tekken 7is available now on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
