Tekken X Street Fighter (鉄拳 X ストリートファイター Tekken kurosu Sutorīto Faitā?, lit. Iron Fist X Street Fighter) was announced on July 24, 2010, at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con along with Street Fighter X Tekken. The gameplay of Tekken X Street Fighter will be featuring the same 3D fighting game engine of the Tekken franchise. As opposed to Tekken X Street Fighter, Street Fighter X Tekken featured the 2D styled gameplay and ink-styled art of Street Fighter IV. Street Fighter X Tekken released in 2012 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles.
Namco's crossover fighting game is still in its early stages of development. No images or videos were released at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con. As of May 2011, Katsuhiro Harada has stated that his staff "hasn't started" on Tekken X Street Fighter yet.
This is not the first time Namco and Capcom have made a game together as they released a Japan-only crossover game in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 titled Namco X Capcom. However, this game consisted of characters outside of the Street Fighter universe as well as the Tekken universe and instead included various characters from Capcom and ones from Namco (like the Darkstalkers and Soul Calibur series, for example), and at least two characters exclusive to the game. Namco X Capcom was a role playing game, thus making Tekken X Street Fighter and Street Fighter X Tekken the first games in the fighting game genre to be made by Namco and Capcom. Ryu and Jin Kazama appear on the game's promotional poster (shadowed by their alter-egos "Evil Ryu" and "Devil Jin" respectively).
Katsuhiro Harada did reveal some concepts at GamesCom 2010 such as a prototype model of Ryu, with the gi of Tekken′s Paul Phoenix. He said the team has yet to finish the model as details and lighting were not completed. Harada also said at Gamescom that he has no plans to release Tekken X Street Fighter until after the Capcom project has launched.
