10 Video Game Characters You Didn't Know Appeared In Other Franchises

If there's any video game genre which can be reliably counted on to deliver unexpected guest characters from other franchises, it's surely the beat 'em up.

And because including The Walking Dead's Negan wasn't enough cognitive dissonance for Tekken 7, Bandai Namco also decided to include Final Fantasy XV's protagonist Noctis Lucis Caelum as a guest fighter.

Though Noctis' aesthetic suits the world of Tekken fine enough, his combat style clashes awkwardly with the more fisticuffs-centric nature of the game's other fighters, even if he's still relatively fun to play as.

Clearly Bandai Namco was throwing everything they could at the wall here and seeing what would stick, and if nothing else, it certainly got more eyes on the game.
