During a live New Year broadcast, Bandai Namco Tekken 7 director Katsuhiro Harada mentioned how he was possibly working on the Japanese company’s “most expensive development project” ever.
Harada himself cannot believe that the company’s bosses gave the go-ahead. Here is the translation, courtesy of Gematsu:
“Well, honestly, I think this may be the most expensive development project in Bandai Namco’s history. I think it’s incredible that the bosses have approved of this. Well, the approval was approved, only due to the coronavirus, we were unable to start the project properly. “
While a new Tekken game or another fighter would be an obvious assumption, the veteran developer mentions how he thinks he will never make a fighting game other than Tekken, and notes how he is currently working on games that are never fighters.
“I am developing other things besides fighting games. I don’t think I’ll ever play any fighting game other than Tekken. But I won’t say what the project is right now. “
So, any hints as to what this project might be? Oh, and if you’re reading Mr. Harada, we still hope to see a Tekken 7 port for Nintendo Switch.
