Virtua Fighter’s New Project Could Be Stopped If It’s Not ‘Good Enough’

by

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to share that Sega’s iconic Virtua Fighter series is making a grand return! The development of this exciting project is now officially underway, and while it’s looking more promising than ever, the mastermind behind Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Masayoshi Yokoyama, has made it unequivocally clear that the team will cease work until they’re absolutely confident they can deliver a top-notch experience.

During a conversation with Famitsu (as translated by EventHubs), Yokoyama expressed that this specific intellectual property holds a significant place in Sega’s history and has no plans to approach this new project casually or half-heartedly. If the quality doesn’t meet the required standards, he is prepared to make difficult decisions to ensure it meets expectations.

Should it seem like it might not meet our standards, we’ll halt the project prematurely. This is a clear indication of our commitment level.

Should Yokoyama choose to halt production, it would indeed cease abruptly.

Essentially, the team aims at producing an entirely fresh concept rather than simply duplicating existing ones. It’s important to note that this isn’t merely about developing games based on other games. Instead, the studio head desires the upcoming project to be both groundbreaking and enjoyable for a diverse audience, offering an exciting and engaging experience.

Though the extent of these allegations remains uncertain, it’s heartening to know that the studio is aiming for excellence as they prepare for the upcoming installment in this iconic 3D combat game series.

Absolutely, we’re eagerly anticipating the release of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. on the PlayStation 5. As of now, though, there’s no specific date for when this enhanced version (or its new project) will be available.
