There’s still no word on a Tekken x Street Fighter game as of this writing. The game was intended to merge the characters and gameplay mechanics of both the Tekken and Street Fighter franchises. It was expected to feature the 3D fighting style of Tekken while incorporating characters from the Street Fighter series. This crossover would have allowed players to experience familiar characters from both series in a new fighting game environment.
Since the initial announcement, there has been limited information or updates regarding the development and release of Tekken X Street Fighter. The project has been on hold for an extended period, and no official release date or further details have been provided by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
