The upcoming game Virtua Fighter has received a new in engine trailer, although it is not the actual gameplay.
The next game in the long-running battle series was first announced at The Game Awards in December with a preview.
Now, at Nvidia’s keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show, the first image in the engine has been shown as a concept before development.
The video shows a bad city scene with two Akira people fighting in a muddy street. Akira is the main mascot of the series, but here he plays a more real look without his iconic spiky hair and bandana.
It really is a beautiful movie to see, from the battle animations, to the specks of land flicked with each foot and detailed and broken scenery.
It has been 18 years since the last game in the series was released, Virtua Fighter 5. It is not yet known if the next game will be named Virtua Fighter 6, but Yakuza/Like Dragon developers Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is in charge.
In an interview in November, Sega announced that a new Virtua Fighter was in development, but later that month it announced that Virtua Fighter 5 REVO was coming to Steam – the remake included 4K images, rollback netcode support, and more. It is set to release on January 27th.
The next Virtua Fighter will be a new mode, but currently there is no release date.
