As a gamer who’s been around since the golden age of arcades and witnessed the birth of 3D fighting games, I can’t help but feel a rush of nostalgia hearing about the new Virtua Fighter game in development at Ryu ga Gotoku Studio. I remember spending countless hours mastering the moves of Akira Yuki and Sarah Bryant back in the day, and the thought of returning to that world is exhilarating.
Update [Fri 13th Dec 2024, 9:15am]: Excitedly, I shared earlier about SEGA’s announcement of a VF Direct event, following the reveal of their new Virtua Fighter game. To be honest, this latest update didn’t disclose much about the upcoming game itself, but it certainly showcased SEGA’s significant commitment to this beloved franchise.
Over the span of a thirty-minute broadcast, they revealed numerous updates and plans, such as boosting the global Virtua Fighter esports tournaments. The series is set to appear at EVO Japan in 2025.
The latest version of Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown has been released on PlayStation 4, boasting numerous enhancements such as reintroduced moves, refined combos, balance adjustments, and superior hit impacts. This update serves as the basis for its upcoming release on Steam as well.
Regarding the upcoming game, producer Riichiro Yamada didn’t reveal much detail, but he emphasized that his goal is to innovate in a similar manner as the original version did, being the first 3D fighting game of its time. He casually expressed his belief that the sequel will surpass the anticipations of fans.
In the imminent timeframe, additional details will emerge, but for the present, it’s clear that SEGA is placing significant emphasis on the resurgence of Virtua Fighter. This revival is already underway with substantial upgrades to current Virtua Fighter titles and investment in its competitive scene, marking the start of this major comeback.
Original Story:
Currently, Ryu ga Gotoku Studio, known for creating the Yakuza series, is working on a brand new Virtua Fighter game. We’re eagerly anticipating a closer look at its development and eventual release, which will be showcased during an upcoming VF Direct presentation.
For the time being, we only have the latest visual of our series’ protagonist, Akira, fighting against Sarah Bryant as depicted in a video clip. Rest assured, we will revise this article as soon as further details are disclosed.
Although no official confirmation has been made, it would come as a surprise if this title isn’t playable on PlayStation 5. Tune in for the VF Direct starting at 12AM EST, and rest assured, we’ll keep you updated with any new information we receive.
