Namco Bandai community rep impressed with Project X Zone interest
Project X Zone seems like one of those games that would be more difficult to localize compared to other Japan-only titles. It’s arguably very niche, and features a ton of different IPs – which could make it difficult to bring to North America and Europe.
Having said that, Namco Bandai is aware of Project X Zone fan interest overseas. Community strategist Rich Bantegui had the following exchange with a fan, noting that he’s “blown away by the amount of interest in the title.”
@videogame554 Sup Anthony, just like my recent answer – I havent heart any news. But im blown away by the amount interest in the title.

Last we heard, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada said he was pushing hard for localization. If that’s still the case and the fans remain interesting, maybe Project X Zone will head to North America and/or Europe one day.
Thanks to Alfalfa for the tip.
