Sega announces all-new Virtua Fighter at The Game Awards

Sega has finally done it. Just weeks after announcing a new version of Virtua fighter 5 for Steam, the company has confirmed that this is a brand new entry Virtua fighter 6is in the making.

Virtua fighter 6 would be the first new numbered entry in Sega’s fighting game franchise in nearly two decades. But Sega is only calling its new game a “New Virtua Fighter Project” for now. Hmm! Virtua fighter 5 first hit the arcades in 2006, and has undergone a number of revisions and reissues over the past 18 years. The series debuted in 1993 with the arcade version of Virtua fighter.

Developed by Sega’s Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Virtua fighter 6 – or whatever it will be called – will see the return of series veterans like Akira and Sarah. More details are promised in a VF Direct presentation on December 13.
