You know, something really does tell me realistically that The Journalist from Tekken 7 is actually gonna make his return in Tekken 8. And it makes sense, because 1. This whole game not only revolves around Heihachi and Akuma, but even the Journalist as well, and 2. He already lost his wife and son, lost his home, has nowhere to go other than staying with the Rebellion Gang, and still wants to take revenge on Jin for what he has done. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even be suprised at all if he actually becomes a Newcomer in Tekken 8, because of how important he really is to the story. The Journalist basically has a Character Arc, based around his origins alone, so It's definitely something that Namco would really do for sure. And as for Akuma? There's no way that he's going to be gone in Tekken 8. At the special chapter ending, we now know that Kazuya is alive. However, we don't know exactly what happened to Akuma after the battle. So my guess is that he probably left to continue his training, and he'll eventually come back in the story mode to get his revenge on Kazuya. After all, he does have a final task to complete on behalf of Kazumi's request after she saved him, and one of them being to kill her son. So either way, he's still not done.
That Mishima war is such a joke, but what do I expect from an overrated hack company like Namco? Tekken's storyline will never be as good as Thundarr the Barbarian, let alone Bruce Timm's Justice League.
