Tekken creative director Katsuhiro Harada says he "didn't mean to lie" when claiming Heihachi Mishima was dead before Tekken 8 resurrected the big bad dad yet again.
Back when Tekken 8 was first announced last year, Harada said even he couldn't believe how dead Heihachi was. Harada recalled how he told Tekken 7's development team to make sure Heihachi's death was "convincing this time," hence why Heihachi was punched so hard his heart stopped and was then dropped into a volcano at the conclusion of the game.
