Fantastic PlayStation 3 fighting game Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown could be returning to the ring, if a recently registered rating in Korea is anything to go by. The brawler was originally released for Sony’s last-last-gen system all the way back in 2012, and that was pretty much the last we saw of SEGA’s long running series on consoles.
However, as part of its Tokyo Game Show 2020 livestream, SEGA teased something to do with Virtua Fighter, although the whole thing was very light on tangible details. It’s assumed that this new rating probably has something to do with announcement.
Said rating, by the way, is specifically for ‘Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown’ — which perhaps suggests that this is some kind of remaster. We certainly wouldn’t say no.
It’s also worth noting that Virtua Fighter 5 is already up and running on PS4, kind of. The game’s arcade and versus modes are playable from within Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. Make of that what you will.
