Harada "Currently Around 40 People Working on Tekken x Street Fighter"

Polygon recently posted a massive 18 page article interviewing various Japanese developers including Harada. Within the article he talks about all the multiple projects he's supervising and gives a small tidbit about the fate of the long delayed Tekken X Street Fighter assuring everyone it's still in production. However, it will still be a while until anything from that game is shown. Some quotes below but be sure to see the complete article for all the information.

Bandai Namco delayed the game because other fighting games had saturated the market, not because of development trouble, and that it specifically wanted to put some breathing room between the game and Street Fighter X Tekken to avoid player confusion. He says the game is still in development with around 40 people currently working on it (though some of those split their time with Tekken 7), but he also says that "Tekken 7 will be our big thing for the next while."

 

He says he's been spending "less and less" time on Tekken recently, because the team working on the series has enough experience to handle it on its own. But he says the team is aiming to make the game more accessible to newcomers compared to previous Tekken titles, and they are tying up a lot of character story threads to bring some closure for the series' 20th anniversary.
