Bringing Back a Classic
Since the last mainline entry, Virtua Fighter 5, was released way back in 2006, players have been craving a new challenge. With the resurgence of revitalized classics like Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, and Streets of Rage, many had been holding out hope that the Virtua Fighter series would also rise again. Although there’s no official announcement just yet, the buzz is undeniable. Co-COO of Sega Corporation, Shuji Utsumi, has acknowledged that the classic 3D fighting game series deserves a comeback.
Following the release of Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown in 2021 for PlayStation 4, interest in the series has peaked. Yet the absence of a new title has left fans disheartened. The latest cryptic post on Twitter has reignited hope, especially with the “SE6A” reference grabbing attention.
Rumors of an Esports-Driven Reboot
As of 2024, whispers about a forthcoming Virtua Fighter game are gaining traction. Leaked information suggests that it may be an esports-focused reboot, aligning it with the competitive thrust seen in recent releases such as Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6. In fact, some chatter circulates about it being reimagined from the original 1993 arcade game, aiming to attract both veterans and newcomers alike.
It’s curious, though, that Sega passed on major events including September’s Tokyo Game Show and Evo 2024 for what could potentially be a massive reveal. The gaming world is now looking towards The Game Awards 2024 as the likely stage for a potential announcement, especially since they spotlighted several classic revivals at last year’s event. However, fans are wisely tempering their excitement, as this cryptic tease may simply lead to something minor.
As we brace for another round of hype, it’s clear that the Virtua Fighter community is ready. Whether this leads to an exhilarating new chapter or not remains to be seen, but Sega’s teaser has undoubtedly sparked a frenzy among fighting game enthusiasts around the globe.
