We have some good news and bad news. Starting with the good news, the 3D “Virtua Fighter” is returning with a “PS4 (Playstation 4)” digital exclusive. On June 1, “SEGA” is releasing a new version of the arcade fighting game series, “Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown.” The bad news is that we do not have our hands on this video game already.
If you have a good memory or simply constantly research fighting games, you may notice that the original version of “Virtua Fighter 5” was released back in July 12, 2006. How much more excited can we get for a video game that is releasing super soon? Maybe you have the answer to that.
Back in September, during a “Tokyo Game Show” livestream, was when the “Virtua Fighter 5” project was announced. “SEGA” is calling the project a “Virtua Fighter x esports.” According to the project’s website, it reads, that the game “will be restarted as an esports title to commemorate the 60th anniversary of SEGA’s establishment.”
