akuma tekken 7 trailer.jpg

In case you haven't heard, Akuma is going to be in Tekken 7. The intimidating Street Fighter character certainly looks the part in his reveal trailer, but does his inclusion mean that we might see other cameos in Namco's upcoming brawler?

Apparently not, according to senior game designer Michael Murray. In an interview with PlayStation Lifestyle, Murray says that the developer doesn't want to "throw off" Tekken's world and setting by adding in too many guest fighters.

As for Akuma himself, Murray explains that "Akuma fits the bill, and we wanted to tie him into the story so that the crossover is not some cheesy gimmick". He goes on to say that fan feedback has been "really positive".

However, even after all of this, Murray admits that the company is still "open to the possibility" of more crossovers further down the line. On that note, would you like to see any more guest characters enter the Iron First Tournament? Are you happy with Akuma's inclusion? Make sense of Tekken's plot in the comments section below.
