The Walking Dead’s infamous scruffy psychopath Negan is joining Tekken 7 in what is the most bizarre and left-field guest appearance we’ve seen in years. Watch his reveal trailer below:

No gameplay of Negan has been shown yet, so it remains to be seen if he’ll bring his precious Lucille into the fight. Even though weird character choices are nothing new to Tekken, it’s safe to say nobody saw this coming. It’s incredibly uncommon for games to include guest characters who don’t come from video games, much less from live-action shows that display the likeness of a real actor. Still, if Snoop Dogg was able to appear in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 then anything’s possible.

Over the past year, fighting games have been getting real weird with their guest characters. Injustice 2 pits Batman and Superman against the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Hellboy, and Power Rangers: Legacy Wars had the Street Fighter cast face off against the Rangers. Hopefully, this trend continues and developers try to one-up each other with even more bizarre guest characters.
