Tekken X Street Fighter Put on Hold

Namco can't find "a good window" to release the crossover.

Tekken X Street Fighter director Katsuhiro Harada has confirmed that the game is officially put "on hold."

In a new interview with GameSpot, Harada said that with this year's launch of Street Fighter V and the upcoming release of Tekken 7 Namco found it difficult to find "a good window" to release the crossover.

"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 said. "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."

Harada also confirmed that the "models, moves and systems" for Tekken X Street Fighter have already been finished.
