"Tekken" fans are still waiting for the arrival of "Tekken 7" and "Tekken X Street Fighter." However, this news might disappoint many because according to recent reports, gamers have to wait longer before the latter will arrive.
"Tekken X Street Fighter" Delayed Due To "Street Fighter V"
There is no doubt that "Tekken" fans are clamoring for the release date of "Tekken 7." Apart from this, many are looking forward to playing the crossover game between "Street Fighter" and "Tekken." However, according to GameSpot, Bandai Namco has halted the development of "Tekken X Street Fighter" and fans might have to wait longer for the crossover game.
Producer Katsuhiro Harada does not want to divide the players who are very ardent on playing the newly release "Street Fighter V." He believes that releasing "Tekken X Street Fighter" will both fracture the audiences of "Tekken" and "Street Fighter" So, they are giving a window before they release the crossover game. At the time, "Tekken X Street Fighter" is on hold.
"When we develop fighting games, we try to keep the core community in mind as well as the wider audience that wants to play these games," Harada said. "When we develop fighting games, we try to keep the core community in mind as well as the wider audience that wants to play these games."
"Tekken 7" Not Exclusive To PS4
On a separate note, Ecumenical News reported that "Tekken 7" might also arrive on different consoles other than PS4. Per the report, an article posted on GameSpot suggested that "Tekken 7" would be exclusive to Sony's current gen consoles. Thus, "Tekken" fans were questioning about the report of "Tekken 7's" PS4 exclusivity.
"Tekken" brand and community advisor Mark Julio tweeted that the said article was already removed due to "inaccuracy and weirdness." He did not explain what part of the article was inaccurate but many believe it was the console exclusivity.
@Flying_Wonkey the article is down now, for inaccuracy and weirdness. ;)

Meanwhile, Michael Murray responded saying that, the right way to say is that "Tekken 7" "has only been confirmed for the PS4 at this time." At the time, one thing is certain, "Tekken 7" is available for PS4 but there are chances that it might arrive on other consoles as well.
@Flying_Wonkey @Harada_TEKKEN @gamespot correct way of saying is "it has only been confirmed for PS4 at this time." — Michael Murray (@mykeryu) April 22, 2016
