Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada♉ has been dropping mad amounts of Tekken lore on Twitter, including more details about Tekken 8's mysterious newcomer Reina.

Tekken🐟's lore is a magical thing, the 30-plus year saga of guys throwing their sons off cliffs, the sons then throwing their dads into volcanoes, the dads retaliating by sending his son, grandson, and father into space strapped to a rocket – you get the gist. But the fighting game genre has never been the most effective at telling stories, so a lot of the Tekken lore is found outside of the core gameplay, such as on seri𒁏es producer Katsuhiro Harada's Twitter account.

during the Armor King trailer, or the fact that and aren't those characters' real names.

However, Harada shares is a big one. It has to do with Heihachi Mishima (who 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Harada established as having 25 kids back in 20𓂃11), and why the dude has an army of😼 Mishima children🐼 primed to be thrown off a cliff.

Heihachi originally threw Kazuya off a cliff to test whether h🦹e had inherited his mother's Devil Gene, since, due to the Mishima clan's history of slaying demons, Heihachi .

"Heihachi has fathered numerou🃏s biological children in an effort to prove his hypothesis that the Devil Gene does not originate from the Mishima bloodline. In addition to this, he has pursu💛ed every possible avenue of genetic research," says Harada.

Harada then explains that Lars' mother was a researcher wh🔯o was working alongside the Tekken Force, which is why Lars has no demonic abilities. But then there's Reina &n♍dash; the latest of Heihachi's kids to appear – whose mother is someone Heihachi had identified as having the Devil Gene, which comes to light at the end of Tekken 8's story mode. However, despite not being raised by Heihachi or her mother, "in the Mishima bloodline’s long history of intergenerational conflict, Reina and Heihachi are – at least for now – the only parent-child pair to have a genuinely positive relationship."

"I didn’t have a single ally": Tekken 4's negative reception put series boss Katsuhiro Harada under so much stress that he left Namco for a year.
