Overview

  • Katsuhiro Harada said in an August 2025 Destructoid interview that Tekken X Street Fighter reached roughly 30% completion and he hopes to share the existing build with fans.
  • Originally announced in 2010 as Bandai Namco’s counterpart to Capcom’s 2012 Street Fighter X Tekken, development has remained on hold since about 2016.
  • Harada emphasized that the crossover awaits a suitable opportunity and formal agreement between the two companies on marketing, branding and development resources.
  • He cautioned that integrating tag-team mechanics into Tekken’s complex 3D engine would demand extensive work and is likely beyond his working lifetime.
  • The only tangible crossover outcome to date is Akuma’s guest appearance in Tekken 7, which offered a preview of the intended collaboration.
