TEKKEN series producer Katsuhiro Harada recently talked with VGC about the mysterious crossover project that's still current "on hold"...
TEKKEN X Street Fighter. Harada stated, "Traditionally, the life cycle of a fighting game is very short - maybe one or two years and then you make a sequel. But TEKKEN 7 is very successful as a service game with its DLC. That makes it much harder to justify releasing another game,
while TEKKEN 7 is still doing so well".

In the recent past, NetherRealm fighting games have been known for including Gear / Customize systems built heavily around grinding... and
microtransactions. In MK11's case, details about the game's microtransactions were well-hidden up until launch, with many players not happy with this system now that they know more about it. Ed Boon and NRS have mentioned they're working on a fix to the game's current microtransactions, and today

It's best to take character leaks with a grain of salt (unless there's visual proof). However, in recent times, early data-mined leaks have proven to be the real deal. SegmentNext and other gaming news sites are reporting that an MK11 "
leak" was extracted from the Nintendo Switch version of the game, confirming: The Joker (DC), Ash Williams (Evil Dead), Terminator, Nightwolf, Fujin, Sindel, and Sheeva. Considering MK11's popularity, this "blockbuster" lineup seems more than believable.
