I går lignende det, at Tekken X Street Fighter blev sendt endegyldigt i gulvet. I en livestream fortalte spillets producer, Katsuhiro Harada, at man var omtrent 30% færdige med spillet, men at projektet nu var dødt.
Nu trykker Harada dog alligevel på continue inden nedtælling løber ud. Det viser sig nemlig, at der var tale om en fejloversættelse i de engelske undertekster.
"For some reason, the meaning of the word 'Okura-iri' is 'Project died', but the original meaning of 'Okura-iri' is 'be shelved' or 'put in storage.' Contracts with artists and collaborators outside of development are subject to terms and conditions, including duration, so we do not own the rights to them indefinitely. So, this one has been put in storage for now," lyder Haradas forklaring.
Spillet blev annonceret helt tilbage i 2010, så selvom spillet altså ikke er helt dødt, så ser det unægtelig stadig sort ud for dets fremtid. Harada forsøger dog at bevare optimismen:
"We are still hopeful that TKxSF will resume development when the opportunity arises. However, such a title cannot be moved just for the convenience of one company in terms of marketing and branding, and it also affects each other's development resources. For now, we are just waiting for the right opportunity."
Det seneste kapitel i Namcos populære serie, Tekken 7, udkom til konsol i 2017.
