Tekken X Street Fighter release was not yet confirmed by the game director and producer Katsuhiro Harada until this moment. This is because of the confusion if it would be Tekken X Street Fighter or Street Fighter X Tekken for its title.

Harada revealed that one of the biggest reasons why he decided to delay the Tekken X Street Fighter crossover gameplay is because of the title itself whether it would be Tekken X Street Fighter or Street Fighter X Tekken. For him, this is to enable the fans and all the avid Tekken and Street Fighter gamers to effectively differentiate the upcoming game without the confusion of these two successful game titles.

He added while contrasting the reports online about the theories of its delay, particularly on those regarding the troubles encountered with its development. He said that there is no problem with the game development since it was more of the marketing decision to concentrate the problem. This is relative to the fact that Tekken is also one of the biggest projects that Bandai Namco has developed and it is on-going.

With that, Tekken 7 gameplay was announced to have a new significant redesign and new look for the game, announced by the game developer. Yoshimitsu, one of the classical fighters in the fighting video game will have its return for the upcoming gameplay.

Tekken X Street Fighter crossover released its new updates for the upcoming slated gameplay in 2016. According to recent news published online, they are prioritizing the Tekken 7 game series than the crossover as of the moment. But this does not mean that they have halted or temporarily suspend the development of the latter.

Katsuhiro Harada, game director and at the same time the producer of Bandai Namco games, said in an interview that this matter of taking priorities for the game development is hard to talk about. His admittance that the Tekken 7 launching will be released earlier than the expected or the planned beforehand, means that they have to leave the Tekken X Street Fighter Crossover launching without exact date of its arrival. This is to prevent too much expectation from their avid fighting game fans.

"Surprise." This was the exact term he mentioned about the crossover release. In order to achieve the release date's huge entrance to the mass, they have to keep the planned arrival of the gameplay to their avid players. So, this also applies to the Tekken 7 game series launching.  

Harada added that during the past years handling the matters of game development of Bandai Namco, he has several changes in the way he views on the perspective of everything. This was supported by a logical plan for the next 20 years of working as he sees active as a game producer through trying to quantify the number of the games he could produce for the said number of years.

This view might take effect to the Tekken X Street Fighter release since it might have the aspects in which he desires to be included as part of the continuous "bang" of the gameplay. Successive high-demands of these two big and amazing game titles, Tekken and Street Fighter made Bandai Namco to take the decision to combine the very aspects of these two in order to create something enormous for their fans.

Relative to that is the return of Yoshimitsu, the returning character of the Tekken 7 series. His unique combatting styles made him popular for the gamers as well as his distinctive characteristics and appearance in every installment he joins. For the latest series, he seemed to have an octopus head, purplish body color somewhat like an alien.

Along with his return will have the game's new sets of characters as previously reported. Another piece of information released was about the upcoming gameplay to arrive as PS4 exclusive during the Evolution Championship Series (Evo) 2015, which will be held in Bally's, in Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino this July 17 to 19.

So far, these are the recent updates that the reports were saying in the moment. What the avid Tekken and Street Fighter fans could do is to keep their selves updated for the upcoming pieces of itty-bitty information that will be announced by Bandai Namco especially for the 2016's Tekken X Street Fighter Crossover gameplay.
