And now, over 10 years later, Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada has broken the sad news that it’s officially cancelled.ĭuring an episode of Harada’s own variety show, Harada’s Bar, he and his guest Kouhei Ikeda (who co-directed Tekken 7 alongside Harada) discussed the project, with Harada saying that it was about 30% done before development stopped. Tekken X Street Fighter, however, dropped off the face of the planet. The first one, Street Fighter X Tekken, released in 2012.

Over 10 years since it was announced, the Tekken series director has unequivocally confirmed that Tekken X Street Fighter is cancelled.īack in 2010, the fighting game community was shaken by the announcement that Capcom’s Street Fighter and Bandai Namco’s Tekken, two of the biggest fighting game franchises in the world, would be crossing over.īut since the former was a 2D fighter and the latter was a 3D fighter, two different projects would be released one which played like Street Fighter and one which played like Tekken. But then Tekken 7 is getting on a bit now and if Tekken 8 is currently in development, then there’ll likely be no time to work on a crossover until that’s finished. If Street Fighter 6 is announced soon, that could be seen as a catalyst to restart the project.
