Sega finally did it. Just weeks after announcing a new version of Virtua Fighter 5 for Steam, the company has confirmed that an all-new entry, which appears to be Virtua Fighter 6, is in the works.
Virtua Fighter 6 would be the first new numbered entry in Sega’s fighting game franchise in nearly two decades. But Sega’s only calling its new game a “New Virtua Fighter Project” for now. Hmm! Virtua Fighter 5 first hit arcades in 2006, and has received a number of revisions and re-releases over the past 18 years. The series debuted in 1993 with the arcade version of Virtua Fighter.
Developed by Sega’s Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Virtua Fighter 6 — or whatever it will be called — will seemingly see the return of series veterans like Akira and Sarah. More details are promised in a VF Direct presentation on Dec. 13.
