Tekken X Street Fighter is “harder to justify releasing” while Tekken 7 is enjoying success as a service game, says series lead Katsuhiro Harada.
Talking to VGC, Harada, who first announced Tekken X Street Fighter back in 2010, said that “Tekken 7 is very successful as a service game with its DLC. That makes it much harder to justify releasing another game, while Tekken 7 is still doing so well.”
“I was excited about
and I have passion for it, but my logical and business thinking has me wondering if I really should do it,” Harada said. With Bandai Namco having just released a ninth DLC pack for Tekken 7, it’s easy to see this conflict in thinking.
