Jason DittonAfter 30 years working for Namco, now Bandai Namco, the full on legendary producer, director, global marketing manager, and occasional voice actor announced that he’s leaving the company at the end of 2025.
Harada, as he often does, has explained his reasons why publicly on Twitter, so this contributor will let the legend’s words speak for themselves.
Bandai Namco and the Tekken 8 team acknowledged and noted their thankfulness on the same site. Additionally, Harada has released a 30-Year Farewell Mix on Soundcloud. It’s linked on Harada’s Twitter post, but if for any of a number of understandable reasons you don’t want to go to Twitter, it’s linked.
