SEGA Announces Virtua Fighter 6 at The Game Awards 2024

SEGA has made a significant announcement at The Game Awards 2024, revealing the upcoming release of Virtua Fighter 6, the first mainline entry in the iconic fighting game series since 2006. This new installment marks a major milestone for the franchise, which has been a cornerstone of 3D fighting games since its debut in 1993.

Virtua Fighter 6 is set to be released in 2025 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, promising to continue the legacy of a series that has revolutionized the genre. The original Virtua Fighter game, released in 1993, was a groundbreaking title that introduced 3D fighting game visuals to arcades in Japan and later to home consoles like the SEGA Genesis and PC.

Since the release of Virtua Fighter 5 in 2006, SEGA has released various versions and mobile spin-offs of the game. However, Virtua Fighter 6 represents a fresh start for the series, developed by Ryu ga Gotoku Studios, known for their work on the Yakuza series.

Fans can get their first glimpse of Virtua Fighter 6 later on December 13, 2024, when SEGA hosts a full direct presentation highlighting the game’s features and what players can expect.
