Reports also have it that Bandai Namco needed to release the game before the end of this year because it will collaborate with Capcom for the development of the crossover fighting game “Tekken X Street Fighter” soon after.
Capcom has apparently freed up its schedule after recently launching the “Street Fighter V” video game which means that it is just waiting for Bandai Namco to complete its work on “Tekken 7.”
During the Paris Games Week in October last year, Harada himself confirmed that a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of “Tekken 7” was in the works, with the PlayStation 4 version possibly coming out with PlayStation VR support.
But Harada changed his tune some two months later when he said that “Tekken 7” is not in the works and it would not happen anytime soon.
He then changed his tune some months later when he said that he is actually overseeing the development of “Tekken 7” with the collaborative efforts of the Tekken Team in Bandai Namco Entertainment.
Harada has been involved in the fighting video game franchise for the last 20 years so it is unlikely for him to stop at “Tekken 7,” which according to reports, shall be powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 4.
