Tekken X Street Fighter, the long in-development crossover game that was\u00a0first announced in 2010<\/a>, is officially dead according to Tekken director\u00a0Katsuhiro Harada. Not to be confused with Street Fighter X Tekken, which was revealed at the same time and launched in 2012, Bandai Namco\u2019s side of the crossover coin spent 11 years in development limbo with minimal updates on its status.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For those of you saying \u201cWell,\u00a0duh,\u201d remember that the game\u2019s cancellation was never publicly confirmed. Harada insisted for years that the game was still happening.\u00a0However, on a recent episode of Harada\u2019s Bar, a video talk show the designer launched earlier this year where he chats with guests and answers questions from a secret bar location, the topic of Tekken X Street Fighter arose.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were working really hard on that,\u201d says Harada. He goes on to praise the\u00a0\u201creally nice\u201d models they designed, particularly for female characters like Chun-Li, but says they independently can\u2019t show anything they made\u00a0due to Capcom owning the Street Fighter cast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to the game\u2019s overall progress, Harada\u00a0says, \u201cYeah, development stopped but we got about 30% done.\u201d He then goes on to discuss that the team had seemingly completed motions for certain characters. Harada is particularly proud of how Dhalsim turned out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then goes on to praise the game\u2019s concept art, then laments on how it\u2019s all been wasted. \u201cWe wanted to show it but the project died.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can listen to the conversation beginning at 17:17 mark. After an intermission, the discussion resumes at 21:25.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Tekken X Street Fighter was meant to be the inverse of Street Fighter X Tekken in that Ryu and Co. would battle it out on Tekken\u2019s turf in a fully 3D fighter. Both games were revealed together during the 2010 San Diego Comic Con but, for reasons still unknown even after this confirmation, Bandai Namco’s end of the deal never materialized. Odds are Bandai Namco\u00a0simply cut its\u00a0losses when the project took too long; Harada told\u00a0Video Games Chronicle<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in 2019 that continuing\u00a0development\u00a0was “harder to justify” from a logic and business standpoint despite his passion for the concept. The closest realization to that vision was Akuma\u2019s guest spot in Tekken 7, an appearance that\u00a0came to be thanks to the knowledge\u00a0Bandai Namco gained while developing\u00a0Tekken X Street Fighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This cancellation is likely the least surprising news ever as I think many of us assumed a long time ago that Tekken X Street Fighter was never going to happen. Still, as games such as Final Fantasy XV and Duke Nukem Forever have shown, long-in-development projects can still see the light of day, so it wasn\u2019t totally unreasonable to cling on to the hope of a surprise comeback. It’s good to know that we can finally lay the myth of Tekken X Street Fighter\u00a0to rest. If nothing else, at least we get the consolation prize of Kazuya coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
