Virtua Fighter kehrt zurück: Erster Neuzugang seit zwei Jahrzehnten auf der CES 2025 vorgestellt
Sega stellte auf NVIDIAs CES 2025-Keynote neues In-Engine-Filmmaterial des nächsten Virtua Fighter-Spiels vor und markierte damit den ersten Neuzugang der Franchise seit fast 20 Jahren. Die Entwicklung wird von Segas eigenem Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio geleitet, dem Team hinter der Yakuza-Serie.
Das Filmmaterial ist zwar kein tatsächliches Gameplay, bietet aber einen Einblick in den visuellen Stil des Spiels. Es zeigt eine Abkehr von den traditionell stilisierten polygonalen Charakteren der Franchise und tendiert zu einer realistischeren Ästhetik, die Elemente von Tekken 8 und Street Fighter 6 verbindet. Der ikonische Charakter Akira ist zu sehen, der neue Outfits trägt, die von seinem klassischen Look abweichen.
Die letzte große Veröffentlichung von Virtua Fighter war Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown (2021), ein Remaster, das im Januar 2025 auf Steam erscheint. Dieser neue Teil stellt einen bedeutenden Fortschritt für die Serie dar und könnte die 2020er Jahre festigen als goldenes Zeitalter für Kampfspiele. Die tadellos choreografierten Kampfsequenzen im Trailer, die eher an einen Hongkong-Actionfilm als an typische Kampfspielaufnahmen erinnern, deuten auf das Engagement des Studios für ein ausgefeiltes und visuell beeindruckendes Erlebnis hin.
Während Details noch rar sind, bestätigen die früheren Kommentare von Projektleiter Riichirou Yamada und die enthusiastische Ankündigung von Sega-Präsident und COO Shuji Utsumi („Virtua Fighter ist endlich zurück!“) beim Livestream von VF Direct 2024 Segas Engagement für die Wiederbelebung dieser klassischen Franchise. Das kommende Spiel verspricht ein frisches, innovatives Erlebnis für langjährige Fans und Neulinge gleichermaßen. Die Beteiligung von Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, das auch hinter Segas Project Century steht, unterstreicht den ehrgeizigen Umfang dieser lang erwarteten Rückkehr.
Welcome to the Destiny Rising Gacha Guide – your complete breakdown of how the gacha system works, including summons, pity mechanics, rate-ups, and tips to maximize your chances of pulling the best characters. Whether you're a new player or looking to optimize your gacha strategy, this guide will help you make smarter choices.
🔮 1. Understanding the Gacha System in Destiny Rising
Destiny Rising uses a standard gacha model with two main types of summons:
Standard Summon (100% Weapon/Character gacha)
Special Summon (Rate-Up Events)
All summons are randomized, and the outcome depends on pity mechanics, rate-up banners, and character/weapon rarity tiers.
🎯 2. Character & Weapon Rarity Tiers
★★★ (3-star) – Common (e.g., base weapons, filler characters)
★★★★ (4-star) – Rare (strong mid-tier units, good for early-game progression)
★★★★★ (5-star) – Epic (Legendary characters & weapons – the main goal)
💡 Note: 5-star characters and weapons are the only ones that can be fully upgraded and are essential for endgame content.
🎁 3. How Summons Work (Pity & Guaranteed Pulls)
The gacha uses a pity system to ensure fairness and prevent "bad luck" streaks.
✅ Pity Mechanics:
Pity Count: Tracks how many summons you've made since your last 5-star pull.
100% Guaranteed 5-Star: After 90 failed summons, your 100th summon is guaranteed a 5-star.
5-Star Rate-Up: During a rate-up event, if you pull a 5-star, it will always be the featured character/weapon.
No Pity on 5-Star: Once you pull a 5-star, your pity counter resets.
⚠️ Important: Your first 5-star pull is guaranteed to be a random 5-star, not necessarily the rate-up.
🎇 4. Rate-Up Events (Your Best Opportunity!)
Rate-Up events are limited-time banners that increase the drop rate for a specific 5-star character or weapon.
🔥 Rate-Up Banner Mechanics:
Increased 5-Star Rate: During a rate-up, the chance to pull the featured 5-star is significantly higher than the standard 5-star rate.
Guaranteed Rate-Up: If you don’t get the featured 5-star within 90 summons, the 100th summon is guaranteed to be the rate-up character/weapon (if on a rate-up banner).
No Guaranteed 5-Star on Rate-Up: You still need to wait 90 summons for a 5-star, but if you get one, it's 100% the featured one.
✅ Pro Tip: Always save your summons for rate-up banners. Pulling on a non-rate-up banner gives you a lower chance to get the top-tier character you want.
🛠️ 5. Summoning Strategies (Maximize Your Odds)
🎯 Best Practices:
Wait for Rate-Up Banners
Most 5-star characters are featured on limited-time banners.
Only summon during these events to maximize your chances.
Use "Pity Counter" to Plan
If you’re 90+ summons away from a 5-star, you’re "in the clear" – you’re guaranteed a 5-star on the 100th.
Use this to plan your spending (e.g., save currency for a 100-pull if you're close).
10x Summon = 100 Pulls (Costs 1000 Gems)
10x summon gives you 100 pulls in one go – great for hitting pity or ending a long streak.
Avoid Random Pulls on Non-Rate-Up Banners
The odds of getting your desired 5-star are much lower when not on a rate-up.
Track Your Pity (Use a Gacha Tracker App)
Many players use tools like Gacha Tracker, Gacha Guide, or Spreadsheet to log summons and plan.
🎁 6. Free & Bonus Summon Tips
Daily Login Rewards: Often include free 10x summons (check the event calendar).
Event Milestones: Completing quests can earn you free gacha tickets or currency.
New Player Events: First 30 days often include 1000+ free summons – use them wisely!
Anniversary/Seasonal Events: Great for getting free 5-star characters or pity resets.
💡 Pro Tip: Use free summons first on rate-up banners to maximize value.
🎮 7. Who Should You Pull?
Character Type
Best For
5-star Character (Rate-Up)
Endgame content, story, visuals, and team synergy
4-star Character
Early/mid-game filler, good for progression
5-star Weapon
Boosts damage and abilities of a 5-star character (e.g., "Soulcleaver" for DPS)
🔥 Golden Rule: Only pull a 5-star if it fits your team or fills a major role (e.g., main DPS, healer, tank).
📊 Summary: Your Gacha Checklist
✅ Wait for a rate-up banner before spending on summons
✅ Use 10x summons to reach pity (90–100 pulls)
✅ Save currency for when your pity is high (90+ pulls)
✅ Track your pulls using a gacha tracker app
✅ Use free summons on rate-up banners first
✅ Only pull 5-stars you actually need for team composition
🌟 Final Advice
Don’t overspend on gacha – it’s a game, not a life investment.
Be patient – the pity system ensures you’ll get a 5-star eventually.
Enjoy the journey – many players end up with amazing characters after 100–200 summons.
🎯 Pro Tip: If you're aiming for a specific 5-star, wait for the banner. The game is designed so you’ll get it eventually — just plan smart.
✨ Remember: In Destiny Rising, your destiny isn’t just luck — it’s strategy.
Good luck, Commander. The stars await your summon.
🌌 Keep rising.
