"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." As such, he added, "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."

While Harada's comments don't necessarily mean the title won't be released in the future, they're also not reassuring to fans who have been waiting for the game. That said, there is hope for Tekken X Street Fighter. "It might seem like we haven't started on it at all, but the character lineup has been decided upon since a very long time ago," he told GameSpot. "And we've already finished the polygon models, moves, and systems."
