Longtime Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada is back, and this time around he's in full control, leading a Tokyo-based team called VS Studio. Harada left Bandai Namco in December after 30 years directing and serving as the hair-gelled, always-shady face of the Tekken franchise, and his departure came as a surprise to the fighting game community. While Harada is in charge of the vision and output at VS Studio, it's a subsidiary of SNK Corporation, Bandai's market rival in the world of fighting games. Scandalous, surely.
