This is wild SEGA have gone ahead and remade Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown in Yakuza’s Dragon Engine and it’s dropping in a week as a Playstation 4 Console exclusive!
It’s great to see SEGA actually reuse their engine for something other than a Yakuza game and to finally see a revival of one of the best fighting game series around. It remains to be seen if this release coincides with the upcoming announcement of Virtua Fighter X Esports or if that’s a different thing entirely.
For the longest time, I have been wanting either VF6 or a port of VF5 to PC. The headline had me really hyped up but then I saw that it’s a PS4 exclusive and my hopes were shot down. Really strange move not even releasing a PS5 version. Considering that Sega has been porting so many former PS exclusive titles to PC, it’s hard to imagine why they went this route.
