Sega Confirms Development of New Virtua Fighter Game

The iconic fighting game series is set to return, as casually revealed by Sega's global head of transmedia.

Justin Scarpone, Sega’s global head of transmedia, confirmed the development of a new Virtua Fighter game during an interview with VGC.
The announcement was made informally, without a trailer or major event, sparking excitement and speculation among fans.
There is uncertainty about whether the new game will be Virtua Fighter 6 or another update to the existing series.
The last major release in the series was Virtua Fighter 5, originally launched in 2006, with subsequent updates like the 2021 PlayStation 4 exclusive, Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown.
Sega's strategy includes reviving several classic franchises, aiming to connect with both nostalgic older fans and a new generation of gamers.
