Tekken 8 Boss Attempts Waffle House Crossover, Fails
For some time now, Tekken fans have been eagerly requesting a trip to Waffle House, not in real life, but within the game itself. While Tekken 8's director, Katsuhiro Harada, seems to be interested in the idea, there has been no official response from Waffle House.
On X/Twitter, Harada responded to fans who continue to ask for a Waffle House stage in Tekken 8. This request has gained significant momentum, especially since Harada has shown a keen interest in exploring the possibility further.
Harada stated that he "fully understands" the fans' requests and has already been considering how to make it happen. He revealed that over the past year, he has tried to make contact through various channels. However, he speculates that the lack of response might be because his project is centered around "fighting-themed video games."
"Over the past year or more, I've actually tried to make contact through several different channels," Harada shared on X/Twitter. "However, and this is purely my own speculation, I suspect that the lack of response may be due to the fact that the project I'm known for revolves around 'fighting-themed video games.'"To be honest, within the bounds of what I can say, I fully understand your (you guys) request—that's precisely why I had considered taking on this challenge. In fact, I had already been thinking about it quite a while ago.

Harada noted that a lack of response is a rare occurrence. He also mentioned that if using a different name or format is acceptable, as long as "the core message is maintained," he would be open to seriously reconsidering and exploring the idea again.
It appears that fans may not see Kazuya and Jin settling their familial differences under the iconic yellow light of a Waffle House sign anytime soon. However, a parody version or an in-universe facsimile could be possible. Harada suggested "Hustle House" in another post, which could be a viable alternative.
Tekken 8 is currently rolling out a new update with Patch 2.01, following the confirmation of Fahkumram's addition to the Tekken 8 roster. Back in April, Harada addressed fan concerns about Tekken 8's Season 2, stating that the tuning team is working tirelessly to incorporate feedback and make improvements for the future.
