Random: Tekken director thinks his new game could be Bandai Namco’s most expensive project

During a New Years Eve live broadcast, Bandai Namco Tekken 7 director Katsuhiro Harada mentioned how he was probably working on the Japanese company’s “most expensive development project” already.

Harada himself cannot even believe that senior company officials have given him the green light. Here’s the translation, courtesy of Gematsu:

“Well, honestly, I think this may be the most expensive development project in Bandai Namco’s history. I think it’s amazing that the superiors approved this. Well the approval has passed it’s just due to the coronavirus we haven’t really been able to get the project off to a good start.

While a new Tekken game or another fighter would be an obvious guess, the veteran developer mentions that he doesn’t think he’ll ever make a fighting game other than Tekken, and notes how he’s currently working on games that don’t. are never fighters. .

“I develop things other than fighting games. I don’t think I’ll ever do another fighting game than Tekken. But I won’t say what this project is at this point.

So, any guesses about what this project might be? Oh, and if you’re reading Mr. Harada, we’re still hoping to see a Tekken 7 port for Nintendo Switch.
