New Virtua Fighter Is In Development At Sega, Exec Confirms

Last year at The Game Awards, Sega announced new entries in multiple franchises within their backlog, including Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, and Streets Of Rage. Today, one of the company's executives confirmed that another classic Sega franchise will be punching its way back into the limelight, as a new Virtua Fighter has been confirmed to be in active development.

Speaking with VGC, Justin Scarpone--executive VP and head of Sega's Global Transmedia Group--confirmed the existence of a new Virtua Fighter alongside the other legacy Sega franchises mentioned previously.
