Katsuhiro Harada left Bandai Namco and Tekken, stood up VS Studio under SNK, hired old Tekken hands, and now says the unannounced game will be “some kind of surprise” that will not sit outside fan expectations. That is not a tease. That is a leash. He already ruled out a fantasy puzzle game. He said he wants to protect what he is good at. SNK is talking original IP or their catalog. Both still mean fists. The surprise is the logo. The expectation is the genre. He didn’t leave Tekken to become genre-agnostic. He left so the next fighter wouldn’t wear Bandai’s name.

Sony and Bandai Namco have started a test project together using generative AI that can create images, animations, and other content on its own to help make video games faster and better. This project is part of a bigger long-term partnership where the companies want to grow popular Japanese game brands around the world They are already using generative AI to make official images for GUNPLA, the popular plastic model kits from the Gundam series. Another tool called Mockingbird quickly turns real actor movements into full 3D animations Sony says the AI will support the creators but never replace them, so the main ideas, designs, stories, and emotions in the games will always come from the human teams and performers.
