Ono says Namco is “way behind schedule” on Tekken X Street Fighter, jokes about 2018 release date

When Street Fighter X Tekken was announced at 2010 San Diego Comic Con, it was also revealed that Namco Bandai would be making their own fighter, Tekken X Street Fighter.
Street Fighter X Tekken finally wrapped up development and hit store shelves last week, but we haven’t heard a peep about the other crossover title.
There’s a reason for this. Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono told GamesMaster in its April issue that Namco Bandai is “way behind schedule” on the project. Actually, the company has yet to make “a single design document”.
Ono isn’t sure when the game will be available, but he believes it will be awhile before it comes out. Regarding the release date, he said “it might be 2018 before the game comes out for all we know”.
“It might take a really long time to come out because they haven’t made a single design document yet, so they’re way behind schedule. But we definitely trust them, so whenever that game gets out the door we think they’ll have a really good thing.
“Just to reiterate that point, they really haven’t made any progress on the game at all. It might be 2018 before the game comes out for all we know, and in the mean time, we want people to enjoy Street Fighter X Tekken. Hopefully we can make it past the Mayan end-of-the-world apocalypse at the end of 2012 and then maybe they can get around to making the game.”
