One of the famous characters from Street Fighter now has a major role in 'Tekken 7: Fated Retribution.' A recent notable decision from the game developer Bandai Namco could come as a welcome development for the fans of the classic Street Fighter videogame. Akuma will be part of the upcoming arcade sequel that is set to be released soon.

Akuma has important role in the storyline of the sequel. The story will involve the assassination plot against Heihachi, which his wife Kazumi Mishima asked Akuma to carry out. The new storyline is somewhat complex and already worthy of a movie plot that could intrigue and excite even the non-fanatics.

Akuma's role will be deeply connected to the overall narrative of Tekken. As some game commentators have pointed out, the ongoing tragedies in the Tekken arcade game universe are focused on the involvement of Kazumi with Heihachi and her son Kazuya.

It should be recalled that the role of Akuma in the Street Fighter series has been generally similar to the role of Heihachi. Hence, it is an interesting plot twist that Akuma will be involved in the new storyline. On the other hand, some of the hardcore fans of the series are more excited about the core mechanics of both Street Fighter and Tekken. As one game blogger noted, resolving this issue will make the game highly enjoyable and fascinating.

Tekken 7 is currently only being offered as an arcade game, which could disappoint some home game console owners. However, it should be noted that the new game is well-received in Japan. Similar arcade-going demographics elsewhere will likely to have similar reaction.
