We’ve had a few updates to Virtua Fighter 5, but this week, Sega finally revealed a new, proper game in the series. It’s in development by Yakuza/Like a Dragon developers Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. What’s more, we’re going to learn more about it soon.

The new Virtua Fighter was revealed by Sega at The Game Awards 2024. It showed off a very interesting street fight between what looked like Jacky and Sarah Bryant. It was only a glimpse, but we’re going to get a bigger look at the game very soon on a special livestream presentation on its YouTube and Twitch channels at 12 a.m. ET.
