One of the most recent announcements in the Tekken world has been that there will be two new guest characters from different video game licenses guest starring in Tekken 7. Different video games licenses means that these guest characters will not be from Bandai Namco titles.
This subject has been one of the main talking points among the community since it was revealed as it leaves fans with lots to speculate.
Tekken project director Katsuhiro Harada recently took to Twitter to ask the community to tweet him their ideas for guest characters in Tekken 7. So far, the tweet has received over 1,500 replies with fans eager to let Harada-san and team know who they want included in the game.
Some fans called for more Street Fighter characters, including Chun Li. However, with Akuma already included in the current roster, it’s unlikely that the guest characters will also be from Street Fighter. What do you think?
Personally, I would LOVE to see Nathan Drake in Tekken 7, but as he’s strictly a PlayStation character this seems highly unlikely. PS4 exclusive DLC maybe? Plus, Nate and Heihachi have already (kind of) met in PlayStation All-Stars! I know it’s not canon, but it’s still pretty awesome!
As expected, fans also used this as an opportunity to express their anticipation for the comeback of unannounced classic characters, with Anna and Lei taking the forefront as usual.
What do you think of the suggestions so far from the community? Are there any guest characters you would love to see in Tekken? If so, tweet Harada-san your ideas and let us know in the comments!
