Baki Coming in Tekken 8? Know What's the Matter.

Upon diving into Tekken 8, many fans were left puzzled by the absence of Baki Hanma in the character roster. What initially seemed like an official announcement turned out to be a fan-made creation that garnered immense attention across social media platforms, sparking speculation about Baki's inclusion in the game.

Will Baki Hanma be in Tekken 8?

Despite the fervor surrounding the fan-made trailer, there have been no official announcements or rumours indicating Baki Hanma's appearance in Tekken 8. The confusion stemmed from a meticulously crafted fan video by YouTube creator HANMASON, which emulated the style of Bandai Namco's character trailers. This video, released on January 22, 2023, amassed over 3 million views, leading many to mistake it for an official reveal.

Game Director Denied the Speculation

Game Director Katsuhiro Harada clarified that no decisions had been made regarding guest characters for Tekken 8. While there is evident enthusiasm within the fighting game community for Baki's inclusion, the absence of any concrete evidence beyond the fan-made trailer leaves his fate uncertain.

Who is Baki Hanma?

Baki Hanma is the central figure in the renowned manga "Baki the Grappler," which debuted in 1991 and has since spanned 149 volumes, alongside numerous anime adaptations. Netflix's release of the "Baki" anime series in 2018 revitalized interest in the character, showcasing intense martial arts battles that resonated with fighting game enthusiasts.

While the prospect of Baki Hanma joining the Tekken 8 roster ignited excitement among fans, it remains confined to the realm of speculation. The fan-made trailer, albeit impressive, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of both the "Baki" franchise and the Tekken series, but until an official announcement is made, Baki's presence in Tekken 8 remains uncertain.
