Alongside the announcement of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O for other platforms, Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio released a new trailer for the next Virtua Fighter (dubbed “Next Virtua Fighter Project”). Though there’s no official name or release date, it confirms the return of Wolf Hawkfield. Check it out below.
Wolf Hawkfield is a staple roster member, appearing in every entry since the original in 1993. He’s a professional wrestler who seeks competition and finds it in Akira Yuki, the series’ poster boy. How their rivalry shakes out in the new Virtua Fighter remains to be seen, though his appearance is a clear-cut above previous titles in terms of style and fidelity.
The next Virtua Fighter lacks official platforms, though it’s likely bound for Xbox Series X/S and PS5. Rumors claim it will feature new characters and the return of Quest Mode, which will focus on esports. Stay tuned for more details, and check out some pre-development gameplay footage here, which sees Akira in action.
