During a live New Year’s stream, Bandai Namco Tekken 7 director Katsuhiro Harada mentioned how he is probably working on the “most expensive development project” of the Japanese company ever.
Harada himself can’t even believe that the increases within the company gave him the green light. Here is the translation, courtesy of Gematsu:
“Well, I honestly think this could be the most expensive development project in Bandai Namco’s history. I think it’s incredible that the highest ones have approved of this. The approval passed, only because of the coronavirus, we were unable to start the project properly. “
While a new Tekken game or another fighter would be an obvious guess, the veteran developer mentions how he doesn’t think he will ever make a fighting game other than Tekken and notes how he currently works on games that are never fighters. .
“I develop games other than fighting games. I don’t think I’ll ever play a fighting game other than Tekken. But I will not say what this project is at the moment. “
So any assumptions about what this project might be? Oh, and if you read Mr. Harada, we still hope to see a Tekken 7 port for Nintendo Switch.
