Tekken Director Katsuhiro Harada's LinkedIn Activity Sparks Speculation
Katsuhiro Harada, the director of the renowned Tekken fighting game series, recently updated his LinkedIn profile, indicating he's "open to work," igniting speculation about a potential departure from Bandai Namco, his employer of three decades.
A screenshot of Harada's LinkedIn profile, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Genki_JPN, shows he's seeking roles such as Executive Producer, Game Director, Business Development, Vice President, or Marketing positions, all based in Tokyo. This prompted immediate concern from fans regarding his future and the Tekken franchise.
Harada swiftly addressed the swirling rumors on X, reassuring fans that he's not leaving Bandai Namco. He clarified that his LinkedIn update was simply a means to expand his professional network and collaborate with more individuals within the gaming industry. He emphasized his desire to broaden his horizons and meet new people.
This news comes on the heels of Tekken 8's successful collaboration with Final Fantasy 16, adding Clive Rosfield as a playable character and featuring other FF16 characters through cosmetic items. Harada's expanded network could potentially lead to even more exciting collaborations and innovative ideas for future Tekken installments. The future of the Tekken franchise appears secure, with Harada remaining at Bandai Namco while actively seeking new connections within the industry.
