Tekken 8 Director Says Switch 2 Port 'Not Totally Off the Table'

Katsuhiro Harada warns that adapting Tekken 8 for the new hardware would demand significant development resources.

Overview

  • In a Eurogamer interview, Harada left open the possibility of a Nintendo Switch 2 version while emphasising there is nothing to announce.
  • The director said engineering the game for Switch 2 would require a major overhaul to get it running on the new system.
  • Harada cited the console’s strong sales as a potential way to reach a larger audience if resources allow.
  • Bandai Namco has already brought several fighting-game ports like Street Fighter 6 to Switch 2, providing technical precedent for a Tekken 8 release.
  • Ongoing backlash over Tekken 8’s Season 2 patch and content roadmap could affect the timing and reception of any future port.
