And Harada considers how to accommodate younger fans.
Iconic capoeira fighter Eddy Gordo is now available inTekken 8as part of the game’s season pass.
Eddy is available as part of the season pass or individually.
Harada noted the way fighting games are played “has evolved over time” and differs between generations.
He continued: “But most young people nowadays are the opposite.
They’re rarely eager to engage in one-on-one showdowns.
As such, players are unable to blame others if they lose, as they can in team-based shooters.
“I thought about how we might accommodate the younger generation of players,” said Harada.
I still think there’s demand for games like this, this sort of hand-to-hand fighting.
But maybe we could include other ways of competing, outside of the main game.”
One option could be to include team-based modes as part of online rankings.
