Is the legacy of Tekken over, or is it too big to fail? Who will replace Harada who has been the face of Tekken for so long? That's a lot of weight to carry.

I mean, the latest story chapter is an easy fix.

It can be retconned as a nightmare Lidia was waking up from. And guess what? Heihachi can still be playable while having no impact on the story.

Everybody wins.

Damn, but it doesn't seem like he's going out on a high note in some ways, sadly. Ironically, what's still my favourite Tekken was one not directed by Harada (Tekken 2). It'll be interesting to see how the series goes forward after this...

@inochinagi some things to probably note is that he was planning to leave even before T8 was even a thing, so I don’t think Harada is leaving because of criticism with 8. Fast forward to T8's development, he finalized it saying he'll be leaving on T9 as his last game.

Fast forward again and now he's leaving by the end of 2025. That's quite the dramatic shift of time placement in leaving.

Honestly I was not surprised on the outcome itself since he did state he was gonna leave Namco during T7 days. Can't beat father time either as time and life continues.

I am however surprised that he's leaving this early. Like right after Itagaki's eulogy? seems rather sudden.
Lets just say DOA7 was released tomorrow. Would you buy it day one or wait?

That's silly because I would be playing it right now if it came out tomorrow. (The joke is that DOA6 and all versions of DOA5 I had early copies before it came out. DOA2-DOA4 were the only ones I had to buy on release)

However... shadow dropped with no info on mechanics, quality of the game, balance, character roster etc. is rather sketchy.

I'd wait for Core Fighters, and if it's another rough game then I'd wait for sale.
