Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O: Steam Debut This Winter

Virtua Fighter's First Steam Appearance

SEGA is bringing the iconic Virtua Fighter franchise to Steam for the very first time with Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. This latest remaster builds upon the 18-year legacy of Virtua Fighter 5, promising a refined and enhanced experience. While a precise release date remains under wraps, SEGA confirms a winter launch.

Boasting the title of "the ultimate remaster," Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. features cutting-edge rollback netcode for seamless online battles, even on less-than-ideal connections. Prepare for stunning 4K visuals, updated high-resolution textures, and a smooth 60fps framerate.

Classic modes like Rank Match, Arcade, Training, and Versus return, joined by exciting new additions. Organize custom online tournaments and leagues for up to 16 players, or spectate matches to learn new techniques from top players.

The YouTube trailer has garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback, with fans eager to experience this updated classic on PC. While excitement is high, some players are still hoping for a Virtua Fighter 6 announcement.

The Virtua Fighter 6 Speculation

Earlier this month, an interview with VGC sparked speculation about a potential Virtua Fighter 6. SEGA's Justin Scarpone hinted at a new Virtua Fighter title in development. However, the November 22nd Steam listing for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. confirmed the remaster, showcasing enhanced graphics, new modes, and the crucial addition of rollback netcode.

A Classic Fighting Game Reborn

Originally released on SEGA Lindbergh arcades in July 2006, then ported to PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2007, Virtua Fighter 5 pitted 17 (later 19) fighters against each other in the Fifth World Fighting Tournament.
