A new entry in SEGA‘s fighting game series Virtua Fighte is currently in development, executive vice president and head of SEGA’s Global Transmedia Group Justin Scarpone told Video Games Chronicle in a newly published interview.
Scarpone said, “So we have a suite of titles in development right now that fall into that legacy bucket, which we announced last year at The Game Awards; Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and we have another Virtua Fighter being developed. And so all that’s very exciting. And then in certain instances, we’re also doing animation series, or live-action films to augment that and be part of those roadmaps.”
Scarpone did not share any additional information outside of the confirmation.
The latest entry in the series, Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown, launched for PlayStation 4 on June 1, 2021.
