Confusion about him leaving Bandai Namco is because of an option he’s enabled on LinkedIn
It’s been less than a week since the Tekken 8 ver.1.11.00 patch dropped, but Tekken Project Executive Game Director, Katsuhiro Harada, said the feedback from the community is very positive so far.
Also, he noted that even if you don’t get a direct reply about any feedback you’ve left for the game, don’t worry, because the Tekken team at Bandai Namco is logging this information.
Patch 1.11 has been very well received, thank you.
We are continuing to check your feedback, and as I always say, even if you don’t get a direct reply, don’t worry, the staff are recording it.— Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) January 20, 2025
The latest patch added some new features for players ahead of the upcoming Tekken 8 Season 2 update, as well as a handful of character balance changes.
Also, a few outlets had started worrying that the legendary fighting game developer may be leaving Bandai Namco because of an update to his LinkedIn page, but Harada clarified he’s only enabled an option that makes it look like he’s looking for new work because it allows him to speak with more people on that platform.
“Oh, don’t worry about this,” wrote Harada. “I meet a lot of people on a regular basis (but I don’t actually have that many friends in my private world *laughs*), I just want to meet more people and expand my horizons in the future.
“I can talk to a lot of people when I turn this option on. Just that,” Harada wrote on X.
Oh, don’t worry about this.
I meet a lot of people on a regular basis (but I don’t actually have that many friends in my private world LOL), I just want to meet more people and expand my horizons in the future.
I can talk to a lot of people when I turn this option on.
Just that. https://t.co/OpcfAZjxuS— Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) January 20, 2025
