SEGA Teases Early Concept Footage for New Virtua Fighter Game

The in-engine video, revealed at CES 2025, offers a glimpse into the visual and animation goals for the first new entry in the series in nearly two decades.

SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio showcased a 35-second in-engine concept video of the new Virtua Fighter project during NVIDIA's CES 2025 keynote.
The footage, labeled as pre-development and not actual gameplay, features two versions of series protagonist Akira fighting in a detailed urban environment.
The video highlights destructible environments, smooth animations, and NPC activity, hinting at the studio's ambitions for the game’s visuals and mechanics.
This marks the first new Virtua Fighter title since 2006, though no release date or platforms have been confirmed yet.
Fans can look forward to Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O., a PC port with rollback netcode and 4K visuals, launching on January 27, 2025.
