In fact, given we’re expecting Street Fighter 6 to release in early 2023, we might be waiting until the latter half of 2023 (at the earliest) for Tekken 8. With this in mind, it could be we’re waiting quite some time for Tekken 8. We only asked them to reschedule when it was really important.” When Ono gave us the date for an important Street Fighter announcement, we often rescheduled our own announcement to not overlap,” continued Harada. It’s not like we arrange dates or anything.” We try not to release at the same time of the same year. “It’s not like we arrange dates or anything. “We try not to release at the same time of the same year. “We’re always careful not to overlap release dates,” said Harada. More specifically, Harada seemed to suggest that both Bandai Namco and Capcom would try to avoid overlapping any of their reveals or releases. Both guests attempted to get Harada to give any info on the next Tekken project.Īs you might imagine, Harada didn’t willingly hand over any concrete info, however, there was one interesting tidbit picked up by EventHubs. However, we do have some clues which help provide some context for when the next game could arrive.Ī recent episode of Harada’s Bar – a talk show hosted by Katsuhiro Harada, the producer of Tekken – included guest appearances from pro Street Fighter 5 player Rohto|Tokido and Virtua Fighter Producer Seiji Aoki.

No confidential game builds or personal information were exposed.” NVIDIA took immediate action to remove access to the list. Inclusion on the list is neither confirmation nor an announcement of any game. “NVIDIA is aware of an unauthorized published game list, with both released and/or speculative titles, used only for internal tracking and testing.

Speaking to WCCFTech at the time, NVIDIA issued the following statement: This included several unnamed and unannounced games, including “Tekken 8”. Tekken 8 Leaksīack in September 2021 fans saw a well-publicised NVIDIA GeForce Now database leak which more or less allowed users to have access to NVIDIA’s internal database of upcoming releases. What are the chances they now follow this up with the announcement for Tekken 8? One can only hope (and dream). Just a few short days after the announcement of a new Tekken World Tour tournament series for 2022, game director Katsuhiro Harada has announced that Tekken 7 has now passed 9 million total sales since its launch back in 2015.
