Sega's developing another Virtua Fighter game

Sega’s legendary Virtua Fighter series is set to make a return, the publisher has confirmed, some 18 years after the launch of its most recent numbered instalment, Virtua Fighter 5.

Since then, there’ve been numerous updated releases of Virtua Fighter 5 (culminating with 2021’s Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, itself a remaster of the earlier Final Showdow), alongside mobile instalments, and even a arcade update for Virtual Fighter 3.

It’s not, then, confirmation a new mainline Virtua Fighter instalment is on the way exactly, but it’s something to chew on at least.
