Bandai Namco is set to bring back a franchise favorite with the return of bad-to-the-bone Heihachi Mishima, joining Lidia Sobieska in a DLC drop later this year. The company has also revealed plans for other exciting updates and modes in the coming days.
For unexplained reasons that aren’t relevant to players unfamiliar with the story, Heihachi’s absence at the beginning of the game is notable, except for occasional flashbacks that provide context. However, fans can expect him to regain prominence and become a playable character in a forthcoming DLC release later this year. At the annual Evolution Championship Series (Evo), Bandai Namco unveiled its latest offering with a captivating trailer that perfectly complemented the grandeur of the event. Test it out beneath.
The exact date for Heihachi’s arrival remains unclear, and so too does the identity of the fourth downloadable content (DLC) character scheduled to join the game within its first year of post-launch support. Stay tuned for further details in the upcoming weeks.
Accessible on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
