NAMCO BANDAI GAMES IS TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE STREETS WITH ‘TEKKEN X STREET FIGHTER’
July 24, 2010
- Two Giants of Fighting to Clash in the TEKKEN™ Universe for the Duel of the Decade -
One of the greatest beefs in gaming history is heading towards an explosive climax, with the news from NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe that TEKKEN X Street Fighter is in development. Set to change the fighting game landscape forever, players will get the best of both worlds, pitting the might of the greatest video game fighters of all time against each other within the TEKKEN universe.
TEKKEN X Street Fighter will invite Street Fighter™ characters into the TEKKEN universe for the very first time, each one receiving a TEKKEN visual makeover while keeping their fighting style and special moves fully intact. Once there, players will discover for themselves whether they’re really a match for the deadly power of the TEKKEN alumni.
“The ultimate dream match-up is about to be realized. With this astonishing collaboration, a new chapter in fighting game history begins,” said Katsuhiro Harada, TEKKEN Series Director at Namco Bandai Games Inc. “The Street Fighter and TEKKEN development teams have a great relationship. However, I see this new project not as a collaboration, but as the competition of the century between two legendary fighting game franchises.”
TEKKEN is one of the world’s most popular and well-known gaming brands with 15 years of hard-hitting history and more than 39 million units shipped globally to date, including over 3 million copies of TEKKEN 6.
For those who just can’t wait, the best fighting game on the planet, TEKKEN 6, is available now for PlayStation®3, Xbox 360® and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), packed with ferocious new features and electrifying King of Iron Fist fight action.
