Tekken X Street Fighter Will Still Juggle Its Way onto Your PS4

It’s been a long time since we heard anything about Tekken X Street Fighter. The elusive brawler, which was originally announced back in 2010, appears to have been put on the backburner of late – but director Katsuhiro Harada did indicate recently that development would be switching to the PlayStation 4. Now, speaking with Korean website Inven, he’s hinted that production is actually progressing well.

“Tekken X Street Fighter’s base system is already finished,” he beamed, “but we still have to finish Tekken 7 and its planned updates first.” With the next mainline entry in Bandai Namco’s premium fighting property due out next year, it doesn’t sound like we’ll be seeing this until 2016 at the earliest. It is nice, however, to know that the project hasn’t been scrapped – especially when Street Fighter X Tekken failed to set the world alight.

In fact, with Street Fighter V also on the way, Harada concluded that the company’s currently planning a re-reveal strategy that won’t conflict with either series’ primary games. To be honest, though, we suspect that that will entail not mentioning it for a few more years. Are you still keen on the idea of this crossover, or do you reckon that it’s a concept that should be KO’d? Throw a fireball into the comments section below.
