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. No other details on the upcoming project, or whether it will be part of a larger transmedia strategy--like Shinobi, another legacy IP, which has a game in development and a movie in production--were confirmed.
"So we have a suite of titles in development right now that fall into that legacy bucket, which we announced last year at The Game Awards," Scarpone said. "Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and we have another Virtua Fighter being developed. And so all that’s very exciting."
