Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada says he'd like to eventually find a way to show people how far Tekken X Street Fighter got into development.

The crossover fighting game was announced 15 years ago at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, alongside a second crossover fighting game called Street Fighter X Tekken.

The idea was that Street Fighter X Tekken would be developed by Capcom and would play like a Street Fighter game, while Tekken X Street Fighter would be developed by Bandai Namco and would play like a Tekken game.

While Street Fighter X Tekken was released by Capcom in 2012, Tekken X Street Fighter has still yet to see the light of day, with Harada saying back in 2016 that development was on hold.

In a new interview with Destructoid, Harada was asked about the game's status again and noted that he would like to be able to show fans how far the game got.

"It's hard to say if that's even a thing," he said (via a translator). "I mean, it depends on what people are wanting as well. That said, I would like to show people what we already have. That would be cool if we could do that. We were 30% into development, so fingers crossed."

Harada discussed Tekken X Street Fighter in an interview video in 2021 where the official subtitles appeared to suggest he said the project "died", but Harada later clarified the situation, saying the subtitles had been mistranslated and should have said "paused" or "pending state" rather than suggesting it had stopped entirely.

"We are still hopeful that Tekken X Street Fighter will resume development when the opportunity arises," Harada explained at the time.

"However, such a title cannot be moved just for the convenience of one company in terms of marketing and branding, and it also affects each other's development resources. For now, we are just waiting for the right opportunity."

A Tekken game with Steet Fighter characters is so appealing. I hope it happens someday.

How mediocre... That project has been going on for over 10 years, and he couldn't get it done.

I don't think it's ever gonna see light of day.

2B is probably a cameo in the 30% build.

Indeed.

He didn't keep his word.

And the last Tekken was mediocre.

People don't even talk about the last game anymore.

Oh I liked the demo, I was waiting for a sale to buy it

Looks like fucking shit man
Glad they canned it

 

[SNG32]

instead of a Tekken tag tournament 3, harada should do Tekken X Street fighter for a tag fighter.

Keep in mind this was going to be a PS3/360 gen game.

This game will be a PS6 release title.

They completely buggered their Akuma adaptation so they should just forget it. If they are not going to adapt the Street Fighter characters to classic Tekken mechanics there is no point. It is part of why Tekken 7 is an absolute turd.

I would rather see SFxT ported to new systems with the gem stuff taken out

It would be cool to see it. I enjoyed Street Fighter x Tekken despite the gems bullshit it had, and always wanted to see Bamco's approach to the crossover.

Akuma in Tekken 7 was great, would love to see TxSF even if maybe not released (I assume they won't have it competing against Tekken and SF, and I assume Bandai Namco is already too busy with Tekken), at least to see in video form whatever prototype/vertical slice builds and designs they made for it.

instead of a Tekken tag tournament 3, harada should do Tekken X Street fighter for a tag fighter.

This would be a good idea to avoid directly competing against Tekken and SF, but seems that Marvel Tokon -and if lucky 2XKO- will dominate tag fighters in the coming years.
