Hold onto your fight sticks, Tekken fans, because there's a secret lurking in Tekken 7 that remains undiscovered, even years after its release! Katsuhiro Harada, the former director of the Tekken series, has dropped a cryptic hint, leaving the community buzzing with curiosity.
With Tekken 8 already in the spotlight, it's intriguing to consider a hidden gem within its predecessor. Harada, who departed Bandai Namco at the end of last year, has seemingly left a parting gift, a secret that has eluded even the most dedicated players. This news surfaces following a story about Harada's attempt to personally compensate Aris for Tekken commentary, showcasing his commitment to the community.
Initially, Harada seemed unaware of the online buzz, prompting him to ponder if someone had finally unearthed an Easter egg he'd hidden in Tekken 7, almost a decade ago. "Did something happen without me knowing? Or did someone find that 'diary' Easter egg I hid in Tekken 7 that still hasn't been discovered?" he mused on social media.
But here's where it gets controversial... No one seems to have a clue what he's referring to, leaving us all in the dark. Could it be a hidden element within Tekken 7's story mode, perhaps related to the journalist's scenes? Or is it something entirely different?
It's refreshing to see fighting game developers continue the tradition of incorporating secrets and Easter eggs, fostering collaboration among players. We've seen examples like Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1, which required significant community effort to uncover. And let's not forget Street Fighter 6, which cleverly concealed C. Viper in World Tour mode, and the sneaky inclusion of Shin / SiRN Akuma. These hidden elements add an extra layer of enjoyment, reminiscent of the arcade era's secret characters unlocked through obscure button combinations, but adapted for the modern internet age.
Hopefully, Harada's hint will reignite the community's passion, encouraging players to revisit Tekken 7 and search for this elusive secret.
