During a live New Year broadcast, Bandai Namco Tekken 7 director Katsuhiro Harada mentioned how he was most likely working on the Japanese company’s “most expensive development project” always.
Harada himself can’t even believe that the company’s top officials 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 the history of Bandai Namco. I think it’s amazing that the highest ones approved of it. Well, the approval has passed, is that, due to the coronavirus, we have not been able to start the project correctly.
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 non-Tekken fighting game, and points out how he’s currently working on games that are never fighters. .
“I’m developing things that aren’t fighting games. I think I will never play any other fighting game other than Tekken. But I will not say what this project is at the moment “.
So is there any conjecture about what this project might be? Oh, and if you’re reading Mr. Harada, we’re still waiting to see a Tekken 7 port for Nintendo Switch.
