Tekken X Street Fighter
Encyclopedia
Tekken X Street Fighter is an upcoming crossover fighting game
being produced by Namco Bandai Games
. It crosses the universes of Tekken and Street Fighter
into one game creating a roster from both franchises.
Tekken X Street Fighter was announced on July 24, 2010 at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con along with Street Fighter X Tekken
. The gameplay of Tekken X Street Fighter will be featuring the same 3D fighting game engine of the Tekken franchise as opposed to Street Fighter X Tekken which will feature the 2D styled gameplay and ink-styled art of Street Fighter IV
. The two games are slated to be released in 2012 on the Xbox 360
and PlayStation 3
consoles.
Namco's crossover fighting game is still in its early stages of development. No images or videos were released at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con. As of May 2011, Katsuhiro Harada has stated that his staff "hasn't started" on Tekken X Street Fighter yet.
This is not the first time Namco and Capcom have made a game together as they released a Japan-only crossover game in 2005 for the PlayStation 2
titled Namco × Capcom. However, this game consisted of characters outside of the Street Fighter universe as well as the Tekken universe and instead included various characters from Capcom and ones from Namco (like the Darkstalkers
and Soul Calibur
series, for example), and at least two characters exclusive to the game. Namco × Capcom was a role playing game, thus making Tekken X Street Fighter and Street Fighter X Tekken the first games in the fighting game genre to be made by Namco and Capcom. Ryu
and Jin Kazama
appear on the game's promotional poster (shadowed by their alter-egos "Evil Ryu" and "Devil Jin" respectively).
Katsuhiro Harada did reveal some concepts at GamesCom 2010 such as a prototype model of Ryu, with the gi of Tekken
Ken Masters
and Chun-Li
have been hinted to be in the game due to a Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Joke Video posted on Katsuhiro Harada's Twitter. Jun Kazama is also suspected to be included, as Ono said during an anouncement interview with Harada that she was the character from Tekken he most wanted to make an appearance - though her actual appearance is yet to be confirmed. Chun Li has been shown in concept art on Harada's twitter account.
