The game director for Tekken 8 has announced on Twitter that the upcoming Bandai Namco fighting game will have crossplay, something he claims to have wanted since the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One.
According to Harada: “At that time, they [Sony and Microsoft] were at odds with each other over their mutual interests (and P2P security issue) & repeatedly refused.” These days though, with crossplay being more accepted between competing consoles, it seems it’ll finally happen.
Harada has a long lasting history of interacting with the online Tekken community on Twitter, offering information to eager fans, rewtweeting fan art, and famously telling more obnoxious personalities not to ask him for shit. They even made a shirt!
