My sincere gratitude to Bandai Namco for providing me the TEKKEN 8 - Ultimate Edition, for content creation purposes.

Tekken 8 (Japanese: 鉄拳8) is an upcoming fighting game co-developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Arika and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The eighth main and tenth overall installment in the Tekken series, the game is set to be released on January 26, 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows.

Set six months after the events of Tekken 7, the game will focus on the final confrontation between father and son Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama, the latter of who wants to kill the former to end the chaos from their lineage.

Fist Meets Fate in TEKKEN 8. Holding a record for the longest-running video game storyline, the TEKKEN series begins a new chapter as TEKKEN 8 continues the tragic saga of the Mishima and Kazama bloodlines, and their world-shaking father-and-son grudge matches starting from 6 months after the closure of the last match. The story of Jin Kazama's growth and determination marks a new chapter in the timeless saga.

The way she stands up with the lightning flashes behind her is so reminiscent of Heihachi in DR opening.

[Did_No_Wrong]

I still love that they can still make the arcade endings just as ridiculous as the older games.

[Toomnyusernae]

I look forward to seeing how they explain Reina having devil gene or if it's artificial. Because Heihachi doesn't get the devil gene (according to Tekken 7 and earlier Tekken). And unless Heihachi had a separate wife who had devil traits, I don't know how this is working lore wise.

Kazuya: I hate you Heihachi ! You killed my mother !
Reina: I hate you Kazuya ! You killed MY Father !


EDIT: i know i saw the new trailer guys. LMAO. xD

[ShaughnTorres]

Reina's devil gene might be from G Corp where they successfully revived Kazuya

[Shanks]

Reina was already scary strong, she was giving True Devil Kazuya a fight and was tanking his hits. Now with no Devil Gene with Kazuya or Jin it makes me wonder how they will deal with her. Maybe she may even bring them together to defeat her. Bravo to Reina though for playing the long game and showing that Mishima will to never go down.

[X-XVQ]

She spent the whole game trying to get killed hahahaha. I love it.

[PwnerGeist]

Kuma posing hard for the camera but we all knew it was a delusion when he got that electric off on kazuya

[MrInuhanyou]

Basically shes a science experiment of heihachis when he was trying to figure out how to take power from others like ogre and devil gene. Reina goaded kazuya into attacking her to absorb enough of his power to cultivate the devils power in herself. Creating a new devil gene host

[joshualowe]

Reina transforming into a devil shows we are DEFINITELY getting a Tekken 9. Perhaps in 2027 or 2028

[badomen]

It's good to see the majority of the Mishima family together; even if it's a day dream

[hayatorpg]

Its like shes making Heihachi’s facial expressions and talking like Heihachi but in a little girl

[Beerusmama]

She finally did what her pops couldn’t and got that sweet sweet DG up in her system.

[praveenloganathan]

Reina should have been a Hachijo, but unable to access the devil gene because she had no idea how.

[ShadowSabrewulf]

Seeing Kuma rock Kazuya like that was satisfying

[xTheSynetix]

I have a huge theory she is gonna try bring heihachi back and then in tekken 9 we are gonna have reina and heihachi vs jin and kazuya

[Revster]

So nobody’s going to acknowledge her saying “Just kidding”?

[Jugdjay]

It feels like something's missing.

Kazuya, Jin and Reina all were close to death when their Devil Gene got triggered.
Kazuya when Heihachi threw him off the cliff before Tekken 1, Jin when Heihachi shot him in Tekken 3, and Reina when she got hit by Kazuya's laser.
The desire to stay alive at that moment seems to be the trigger.

Since Jin and Kazuya destroy each other's Devil Gene in Tekken 8, it's still established that you have to carry the Devil Gene. The trigger part only adds another layer to it.

The missing piece is the identity of Reina's mother. Heihachi doesn't have the Devil Gene, so the only way this works is if her mother has the Devil Gene.

Reina's mother can't be Kazumi. She's way younger than Kazuya, and might even be younger than Jin who is 22 in Tekken 8.

That would mean that Heihachi met someone who carries the Devil Gene between Tekken 2 and 3.
But at this point he'd know better when it comes to the Hachijo clan, considering what happened with Kazumi, so it wouldn't make sense that he'd get together with another Hachijo. Willingly, at least.
So maybe... He met a woman from another family who has at least one parent coming from the Hachijo clan? Much like what happened to the Mishima family with himself.
This is all just speculation though.

One thing's for sure, the identity of Reina's mother is the missing piece here.

[bioblade]

She could be G-Corp's version of Steve Fox, they had the devil gene on hand (Kazuya's corps) and a scientist from that project with them (Leo's mother) so it makes way more sense that she is Kazuya's daughter/Clone/Tube baby, she behaves like him anyways

[myrica]

So Heihachi is literally Joseph Joestar and Reina is Josuke Higashikata? make sense to me, that's why Jin has a lot of Jotaro vibe
