“We have a number of titles in development that fall into this category that we announced last year at The Game Awards: Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and we are developing another Virtua Fighter. And it’s all very exciting.
About a year ago, Rumors of a new Virtua Fighter game surfaced ahead of The Game Awards 2023and SEGA itself has stated that the team is “evaluating” another installment in the series. Well, it seems that these assessments have become an active development within the Japanese company.
