ORA! ORA! ORA!
Get ready to Ride the Tiger once again,Virtua Fighterfans. An unannounced listing forVirtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdownhas popped up on the website of that bastion of industry spoilers: the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea. As spotted by Twitter user@nokcha334the new titlewas rated on March 19and listed as coming to the PS4 platform. This news is dangerously close to April Fool’s Day for my liking…
While this is total speculation on my part, this listing suggests that Sega is preparing to release another new update for its fantastic 2006 releaseVirtua Fighter 5. The one-on-one 3D slugfest last saw attention back in 2010, with the release ofVirtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. The beloved but relatively low-key franchise laying has laid dormant since, despite pleas for a sequel from hardened fighting game fanatics, yer boy Moyse included.
While this is not theVirtua Fighter 6that we all might have hoped for, this ratings board listing suggests thatVirtua Fightermight be about to receive some form of fresh attention – which no doubt ties in with the mysterious “Virtua Fighterx eSports Project” announced by Sega back in September 2020. You better believe we’ll keep you updated should confirmation and new info be forthcoming. Don’t you go all mobile port on me, Akira…
