Tekken X Street Fighter Is No Longer in Development

By Karl SmartApril 22, 2016

Tekken x Street Fighter, the second part in a legendary deal between Capcom & Bandai Namco Entertainment is pretty much dead in the water according to an interview between Tekken game director Katsuhiro Harada and Gamespot, sighting that Bandai Namco Entertainment “We don’t want to split these communities.”

“When we develop fighting games, we try to keep the core community in mind as well as the wider audience that wants to play these games,” he explained. “But currently the situation is with fighting games, you have Street Fighter V that just released–a lot of people are playing that fervently–and there’s a large crowd out there waiting or Tekken 7.”

He continued: “We don’t want to split these communities, so a good window in which to release Tekken x Street Fighter is something that’s become difficult recently. So it’s on hold for the moment.”

Tekken x Street Fighter was first announced during San Diego Comic-Con 2010 as a partnership between Bandai Namco and Capcom. As part of the arrangement, both companies would have access to each other’s iconic cast of fighting game characters for use in two new fighting games.

Capcom’s game Street Fighter x Tekken was released in 2012, but Bandai Namco had shown very little of its project in the years following.

Harada said Bandai Namco was still looking for “the right time” to release Tekken x Street Fighter.

Harada admitting the game is no longer an active project at Bandai Namco. The publisher recently released Pokken Tournament, in partnership with Nintendo and The Pokemon company. Its next major fighting game is Tekken 7, which is set for release on PlayStation 4 sometime… Then-ish… There’s still no release date for Tekken 7.

Speaking of Tekken 7, at this point in time it looks like the Akuma cameo is the only thing players are going to get that is remotely close to the crossover that we were promised.
