During an interview, relatively new Sega Head of Transmedia Justin Scarpone recently spoke to what Sega has been up to, and that included a tasty little tidbit about the much-desired return of a fighting franchise. Scarpone revealed that a new Virtua Fighter game is in development at Sega alongside a wealth of other projects in the company’s recent efforts to revive and remake its old IP.

It’s interesting to hear that a new Virtua Fighter is in the works. The last time this franchise saw action was in 2021 when Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown came out. We enjoyed the graphical and performance improvements to the game, but we’ve still pined for something new in the franchise since Virtua Fighter 5 first came out in 2006.
If Sega truly is working on a new Virtua Fighter, it will be interesting to see what it looks like when it happens. Stay tuned to the Virtua Fighter Series topic for more updates and information.
