Tekken 8 will finally be getting Heihachi Mishima as he will be joining the roster in Fall 2024 as the third DLC character.

The big news was announced at EVO 2024 and it's a welcome announcement as fans have been waiting for the King of the Iron Fist since he wasn't part of the roster at launch. It made sense at the time as he met his end during Tekken 7's story, but he's been such a mainstay that fans wanted him back in some form.

my main question is, will they be added for arcade only or these DLC players will have character stories as well

yes, it says in the article that
"There is plenty more for fans to look forward to, including the first-ever story DLC in the Tekken franchise. This new chapter of 'The Dark Awakens' will continue the clash between the Kazama and Mishima families and will be available as a free update for all players in the future."

so we can hope that these DLC characters also have a part in the story
 
Tekken 8 felt so weird without Heihachi and Eddy but good thing they are coming back, I don't care if these are DLC characters... at least they are in the game now
