It’s always a bittersweet moment when a legendary figure like Katsuhiro Harada steps away after so many years. His contributions to the Tekken series have left a lasting impact on the gaming community. Wishing him all the best in his future endeavors!
Absolutely, it really is bittersweet. Harada’s influence on the Tekken series has shaped the fighting game genre as a whole. It’ll be interesting to see how the franchise evolves without his guidance.
I completely agree, it’s a significant change for the franchise. Haradaβs dedication not only refined the gameplay but also built a strong community around Tekken. It will be interesting to see how the series evolves without his leadership moving forward.
