Tekken X Street Fighter is no longer in active development, Bandai Namco has revealed. Speaking
in an interview with GameSpot, Tekken game director Katsuhiro Harada indicated that releasing the crossover fighting game now could fracture the audiences of both franchises.
"When we develop fighting games, we try to keep the core community in mind as well as the wider audience that wants to play these games," he explained. "But currently the situation is with fighting games, you have
Street Fighter V that just released--a lot of people are playing that fervently--and there's a large crowd out there waiting or
Tekken 7."
He continued: "We don't want to split these communities, so a good window in which to release Tekken x Street Fighter is something that's become difficult recently. So it's on hold for the moment."
Tekken x Street Fighter was first
announced during San Diego Comic-Con 2010 as a partnership between Bandai Namco and Capcom. As part of the arrangement, both companies would have access to each other's iconic cast of fighting game characters for use in two new fighting games.
Harada said Bandai Namco was still looking for "the right time" to release Tekken x Street Fighter.
hope they fixed the trophies
