A New Chapter in Fighting Game History!
New Titles Featuring “Street Fighter” and “TEKKEN” in the
Works from Capcom and NAMCO BANDAI Games!


Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) and NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. (NBGI) are pleased to announce that development is underway on two brand new fighting games, one to be developed by each company, which features characters from both companies’ flagship fighting franchises, “Street Fighter” and “TEKKEN”.

“Street Fighter X TEKKEN”, to be developed by Capcom, will feature “TEKKEN” characters making their debut in the “Street Fighter” world (tentatively planned for PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360®). Meanwhile, NBGI’s “TEKKEN X Street Fighter” will feature “Street Fighter” characters bringing the fight to the “TEKKEN” world (platform TBA).
   This collaboration is one fighting games fans have been dreaming of.


“Street Fighter IV” Series Producer Yoshinori Ono, Capcom

“This is history we’re making. Two fighting games that have rivaled each other are finally standing on the same stage. This isn’t just a showdown between “TEKKEN” and “Street Fighter”, but a decisive battle for Capcom and NBGI, so I’m going to give it my all”.

“TEKKEN” Series Director Katsuhiro Harada, Namco Bandai

“The ultimate dream match-up is about to be realized. With this astonishing collaboration, a new chapter in fighting game history begins. The “Street Fighter” and “TEKKEN” development teams have a great relationship. However, I see this new project not as a collaboration, but as a competition of the century between two legendary fighting game franchises”.
