Fighting game franchises have been thriving in recent years, but not all classics have been active. Sega’s Virtua Fighter franchise has seen some re-releases here and there, though a new mainline instalment hasn’t been forthcoming in over a decade. Not too long ago, it was confirmed that a new Virtua Fighter game had entered development, however, and now that’s been formally unveiled.
At The Game Awards, Sega and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio offered a first, official look at the next Virtua Fighter game. The fighter’s official title wasn’t announced, and gameplay wasn’t showcased, with the trailer just showing a handful of seconds of pre-rendered cinematic footage- but if nothing else, at least now it’s officially confirmed that a new mainline Virtua Fighter is finally on the way. Check out the trailer below.
More details on the next Virtua Fighter game will be shared imminently in a dedicated Direct presentation, which is scheduled for December 13 at 12 AM EST. Stay tuned for more information.
