Way back in 2010, Capcom and Namco Bandai jointly announced they were working on two cross-over video games: Street Fighter X Tekken and the similarly named Tekken X Street Fighter. The former, produced by Capcom, appeared to little fanfare in 2012. Since then, there has been little word on Tekken X Street Fighter's development which led many to assume the project had been quietly cancelled.

But then, Street Fighter's Akuma weirdly popped up in Tekken 7 and fans begun to wonder: could the long-languishing title still see the light of day? We asked Tekken's longtime producer Katsuhiro Harada, who happened to be wandering about the E3 showroom floor. Here's what he had to say...

Street Fighter X Tekken came out in 2012. But Tekken X Street Fighter, which was announced at the same time, is still MIA. In a recent interview, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada tells GameSpot that the game has been iced for the time being.

While it doesn't feel like Tekken X Street Fighter is coming any time soon, fighting fans will be getting a little Akuma-flavored taste of those two worlds colliding again in Tekken 7's upcoming "Fated Retribution" arcade update.

Street Fighter X Tekken released on March 6, 2012, meaning Namco Bandai has been answering so-where-the-hell-is-it questions about Tekken X Street Fighter since March 7, 2012. Five games under the Tekken brand have appeared since, raising offhand speculation about TxSF's priority.

So, Street Fighter x Tekken came out and met with widespread acclaim. Good for Capcom. Now it's Namco Bandai's turn to produce a fighting game crossover that follows up on an idea that once looked impossible. When might the Tekken be coming out? The guy who made SFxT has no idea.

Infamous protagonist Cole is joining Street Fighter X Tekken. Capcom showed off gameplay featuring Infamous' Cole MacGrath.

No, not Bob Saget (unfortunately). Sagat! According to this image, Street Fighter's Sagat is apparently coming to Street Fighter x Tekken.

Kotaku's played Street Fighter X Tekken, but from the sound of it, nobody outside Namco will playing Tekken X Street Fighter anytime soon.

Don't think of upcoming fighting crossover Street Fighter x Tekken (or vice versa), but rather, one unhinged game producer against another.

Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono takes no chances as he prepares for a visit to Namco Bandai's Sunnyvale offices to talk the Street Fighter X Tekken crossover fighter, as seen on Capcom Unity.

The creators of Street Fighter and Tekken have been squabbling in Germany. They've been battling (playfully, with pranks) over Twitter all week. Who won? Take a look.

Namco gave Tekken and Street Fighter fans in Germany an unforgettable presentation at Gamescom this week in the form of a live-action match between fighting game characters Ryu and Kazuya Mishima... and a cross-dressing Chun-li.

Namco held an unusual event at Gamescom today to give its European audience a peek at Street Fighter X Tekken. But fans of both fighting games also got a sneak peek at its successor sibling, Tekken X Street Fighter.

Street Fighter series producer Yoshinoro Ono and Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada are due for a rematch, and they'll get their chance during a TEKKEN X Street Fighter tournament at GamesCom. The trash talk is already flying.
