The Virtua Fighter series seems to be on the brink of a comeback, as Sega has teased a new project under the ‘Virtua Fighter x esports’ title. The original 3D fighting series has been essentially dormant since the 2012 console release of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, the last revision of the 2006 arcade game, though the games and characters have been used for minigames and cameo appearances. Frustratingly for fans, there’s little indication of whether this project is a brand‐new game, a modern port of FinalShowdown, a series collection or something else entirely. We’ll keep you updated as more becomes clear.
