Tekken 8 and Atelier Yumia Is Not the Crossover We Expected to See Today

[admin]

​

A Tekken 8 and Atelier Yumia crossover? Yes, it's really happening, and we would love to know how this actually got approved.

Publishers Bandai Namco and Koei Tecmo have, for some reason, got together and decided to run a promotion between the two PS5 titles. In Tekken 8, free "costumes, special skills, and accessories" based on Yumia will be made available as part of the brawler's big Season 2 update.

Of course, Atelier Yumia is just about to launch at the time of writing, and so from that perspective, this is a prime opportunity for some additional marketing heft.

But the best part about this crossover has to be the trailer that Koei Tecmo's released. It features Yumia herself dropping a Heihachi-themed slime off a cliff, in what is a nod to Tekken's ridiculous lore. It gets even better when Yumia turns to the camera and smirks — just like Kazuya in that infamous ending scene.
