![]() ![]() At the beginning of the trailer, a gloved hand reaches out to him from a pool of black smoke as Jin falls. ![]() He's not against using his own Devil Gene to do that. The game’s newly-revealed tagline, “Fist Meets Fate,” and the way the “8” in Tekken 8’s logo resembles a broken chain, symbolizes Jin’s struggle against his destiny and his attempt to break the chains that bind them. While the two of them were ultimately motivated by power and revenge, and each viewed the other as the biggest obstacle in his path, Jin’s struggle is against the bloodline he inherited from his father and the Devil Gene itself. Kazuya, fresh off of his win against Heihachi, is destroying cities and encouraging humanity to unleash the dogs of war.Īccording to Harada, Tekken 8 takes place six months after Tekken 7, and while the father/son conflict in Tekken 8 mirrors what happened in Tekken 7, the conflict between Kazuya and Jin is a little different than the one between Heihachi and Kazuya. While that fight resolved itself in what seems like a pretty definitive win for Kazuya – but really, who would be surprised if one of the first (or last) moments of Tekken 8 was Heihachi climbing out of that volcano – the stakes are just as high the showdown between the last two members of the Mishima bloodline (and the last two carriers of the Devil Gene): Jin wants to kill his dad and put an end to the whole thing. ![]() It’s no surprise the upcoming showdown between Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima remains front and center, just as the fight between Kazuya and Heihachi Mishima was in Tekken 7. Luckily, IGN got to sit down with Tekken 8 executive producer Katsuhiro Harada to break everything down. ![]()
