'Street Fighter X Tekken' announced
Published Saturday, Jul 24 2010, 22:48 BST | By Matthew Reynolds
Capcom and Namco are teaming together to create two collaborative fighting games.
Capcom will develop Street Fighter X Tekken, which will use the Street Fighter IV engine for 2D gameplay with 3D character models and visual style.
As well as Versus and Training modes, the title will include Tag Team combat for knockout assist attacks and special combos.
Confirmed characters for the game include Street Fighter's Ryu and Chun-Li and Tekken's Kayuza Mishima and Nina Williams.
Producer Yoshinori Oni announced the project, which he previously said would be bigger than Street Fighter IV, earlier today at Comic-Con.
"This is history we're making," he said. "Two fighting games that have rivalled each other are finally standing on the same stage. This isn't just a showdown between Tekken and Street Fighter, but a decisive battle for Capcom and Namco Bandai Games. So I'm going to give it my all."
Also announced was Tekken X Street Fighter, which will utilise the engine and visual style of Tekken 6, and will be shown at a later date.
Neither project has been given a release date, and are expected for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
