Almost 20 years without a new game…
SEGA surprised everyone at CES 2025 by unveiling a new Virtua Fighter game. Significant, as this will be the first new Virtua Fighter game since 2006. But that’s not the most notable thing…
RGG Studio will be working on this one, and the sharp-eyed might notice a few movements that look familiar in the brief look we got (that is, by the way, a good thing). More importantly, it may be a bit of a tipoff that certain guests might just make an appearance (please!)…
We’re excited to unveil a special preview of the concept video for the “New VIRTUA FIGHTER Project.” This video was presented at the Consumer Electronics Show, the world’s largest electronics trade fair, during the keynote speech by NVIDIA’s founder and CEO, Jensen Huang.
*Please note that this is a concept video created before development began. The actual gameplay and characters may differ from what is shown.
Having Virtua Fighter back is a big deal, though. It kicked off the 3D fighter as a genre back in the day, yet hasn’t had a new installment since 2006’s Virtua Fighter 5. While 5 did see a port to PS4 later on, it’s not quite the same as a new game. So everyone is looking forward to what RGG Studio is going to do with the IP.
