At the moment, there are no confirmed intentions to incorporate SEGA guest characters into RGG Studio’s forthcoming Virtua Fighter remake. However, producer Riichiro Yamada hinted that this decision may be subject to change in the future.
During a chat with Giant Bomb at Evo, the industry veteran shared that the team’s main focus for Virtua Fighter right now is to broaden its universe and mythology. As such, they aren’t considering guest characters in their current development phase.
Yet, he emphasized that although it’s not on the agenda currently, it might serve as a potential area for further investigation by the developer in the days to come.

Yamada explained:
