Katsuhiro Harada, who spent three decades producing the Tekken series at Bandai Namco, has brought another veteran developer into his newly formed SNK studio. The move represents a continued effort to assemble key talent from his previous projects as he builds out his independent venture. The Tekken 8 team has experienced several departures since the game's launch, which the studio has worked to address in its post-release support phase. Harada's ability to recruit experienced colleagues signals confidence in his new direction at SNK, though specifics about the rejoining director's role and upcoming projects remain limited.
- A former Tekken 8 director has rejoined Harada at his new SNK fighting game studio following the producer's exit from Bandai Namco after 30 years.
- The move follows documented departures from Tekken 8's development team during its post-launch period.
