A NEW CHAPTER IN FIGHTING GAME HISTORY
July 26, 2010
- New Titles Featuring 'Street Fighter' and 'TEKKEN' in the Works from Capcom and NAMCO BANDAI Games -
TOKYO, JAPAN – 24 July 2010 – Capcom Co., Ltd. and NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. are pleased to announce that development is underway on two brand new fighting games, one to be developed by each company, featuring characters from both companies’ flagship fighting franchises, Street Fighter and TEKKEN.
Street Fighter X TEKKEN, to be developed by Capcom, will feature TEKKEN characters making their debut in the Street Fighter world (tentatively planned for PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360®). Meanwhile, NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc.’s TEKKEN X Street Fighter will feature Street Fighter characters bringing the fight to the TEKKEN universe. This collaboration is one fighting games fans have been dreaming of.
'Street Fighter' Series Producer Yoshinori Ono, Capcom:
“This is history we’re making. Two fighting games that have rivalled each other are finally standing on the
same stage. This isn’t just a showdown between TEKKEN and Street Fighter, but a decisive battle for Capcom and NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc., so I’m going to give it my all.”
'TEKKEN' Series Director Katsuhiro Harada, NAMCO BANDAI Games:
“The ultimate dream match-up is about to be realized. With this astonishing collaboration, a new chapter in fighting game history begins. 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.”
