Is Tekken Tag 3 in the cards? Harada talks challenges and the future of the iconic franchise spin-off

It's been over 13 years since Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was released on September 14, 2011. Though the game garnered a cult following from some of the most hardcore fans of the series, it was seen commercially as a failure that almost killed the series.

"It's a great game for highly skilled players, but for those who can't play it well, before even considering whether a game is fun, they feel like it's their fault that they can't play well. So they stop playing," recently said Harada about why Tekken Tag Tournament 2 failed.

"Usually, players feel they should be able to play well, but then they can't and keep losing. They get frustrated and call it a crappy game," continued Harada. "But because they are so close, they keep playing to get better. Once they get it, they find the game pretty fun again."
