Fans have been patiently waiting for a new game in the iconic Virtua Fighter series for quite a while now. With that being said, it’s probably about time now to bring it back. In a new interview this week, a lead at Sega has officially confirmed that a brand new entry in the beloved fighting game series is currently in development.
Justin Scarpone, Sega’s lead for Global Transmedia Strategy, revealed the following to VGC:
“So we have a suite of titles in development right now that fall into that legacy bucket, which we announced last year at The Game Awards; Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and we have another Virtua Fighter being developed. And so all that’s very exciting. And then in certain instances, we’re also doing animation series, or live-action films to augment that and be part of those roadmaps.”
This welcomed news will definitely create a lot of buzz and excitement in the world of fighting game fans. Virtua Fighter has always been a series that is widely acclaimed and highly celebrated by video gamers around the world.
