La actividad de LinkedIn del productor de Tekken Katsuhiro Harada provoca especulación
Katsuhiro Harada, el reconocido director de la serie de juegos de Fighting de Tekken, recientemente actualizó su perfil de LinkedIn, lo que indica que está "abierto al trabajo" y busca nuevas oportunidades. Esto provocó una especulación inmediata en línea, y algunos temen su partida de Bandai Namco después de una tenencia de tres décadas.
Una captura de pantalla del perfil de LinkedIn de Harada, que muestra su estado de "abierto al trabajo" e interés en roles como productor ejecutivo, director de juegos, desarrollo de negocios, vicepresidente o marketing (con sede en Tokio), circuló en X (anteriormente Twitter ). Esto impulsó las preocupaciones del ventilador sobre el futuro de la franquicia Tekken.
Sin embargo, Harada abordó rápidamente los rumores en X, tranquilizando a los fanáticos de que no dejará a Bandai Namco. Aclaró que su actualización de LinkedIn era simplemente un medio para expandir su red profesional y colaborar con más personas dentro de la industria del juego. Hizo hincapié en su deseo de ampliar sus horizontes y conectarse con más personas.
Esta noticia es probablemente positiva para los fanáticos de Tekken. Colaboraciones recientes, como la inclusión de Clive Rosfield de Final Fantasy XVI como un personaje jugable en Tekken 8 (junto con adiciones cosméticas con Jill, Joshua e incluso Nektar the Moogle!), Demuestre el potencial de la franquicia para el crecimiento y los crossovers emocionantes. La red ampliada de Harada podría conducir a colaboraciones aún más innovadoras y enriquecer la experiencia de Tekken.
“Sword of Convallaria x Delicious in Dungeon” crossover has officially launched with an exciting month-long event that brings together fans of both beloved franchises in a thrilling fusion of fantasy, dungeon delving, and mythical swordplay.
Set in the lush, magical world of Sword of Convallaria, where ancient blades hold the power to shape fate and rival kingdoms vie for the legendary Sword of the Dawn, the crossover event introduces beloved characters from Delicious in Dungeon—the intrepid adventurers Laios, Byleth, and the rest of the party—transported into the very realm of the legendary sword.
Key Highlights of the Month-Long Event:
New Story Arcs: Players experience original story chapters where Laios and his companions find themselves trapped in a magical dungeon beneath Convallaria’s royal citadel, where the very walls whisper with forgotten lore and the food itself holds magical properties—just like in Delicious in Dungeon. Their goal? To uncover the truth behind a cursed sword said to be the key to restoring peace.
Shared Boss Fights: Fans can battle iconic enemies reimagined through the lens of both series, including a monstrous "Cuisine Wyrm" that combines the terrifying elegance of a dungeon boss with the absurd-yet-delicious twist of a monster made entirely of enchanted pastries.
Crossover Foodcraft System: Inspired by Delicious in Dungeon’s legendary cooking mechanics, players can now craft magical meals using ingredients from Convallaria’s enchanted forests and underground caverns. These dishes restore HP, boost elemental resistance, and even unlock secret abilities—some bearing the names of classic Delicious in Dungeon recipes like "Crimson Rose Sausage" and "Dragon’s Breath Curry."
Limited-Time Characters: Special summonable units include:
Laios (Hero of the Hearth) – A new character with passive abilities that boost party morale and cooking effectiveness.
Byleth the Scholar – A magical tactician who can analyze enemy weaknesses and apply culinary insights to weaken foes.
Sword of Dawn (Legendary Form) – A transformed version of the iconic blade, now infused with the spirit of a legendary cook, granting unique elemental buffs.
Daily Quests & Events:
“Feast of the Forgotten King” – A daily cooking challenge with a rotating menu of mythical ingredients.
“Dungeon of the Tasting Court” – A timed dungeon raid where players must solve puzzles using both combat and recipe knowledge.
“Battle of the Tasting Plates” – A PvP mode where players battle not with swords alone, but with their signature dishes.
Exclusive Merch & Digital Rewards: Completing event milestones unlocks digital artbooks, animated character skins, and limited-edition recipe cards featuring real-life cooking tips from the Delicious in Dungeon cookbook team.
Developer Statement:
“We’re thrilled to unite two of the most imaginative worlds in gaming and anime. Sword of Convallaria brings epic swordplay and ancient magic, while Delicious in Dungeon brings heart, humor, and a love for the simple joy of a perfectly cooked meal. Together, they create something truly delicious—on every level,” said project lead Naoki Tanaka.
The crossover event runs from June 1st to June 30th, with new daily missions, rewards, and community challenges released throughout the month. Whether you’re a sword-swinging warrior or a dungeon-dining gourmet, there’s something deliciously epic waiting in the depths.
