Justin Scarpone, SEGA's executive director and director of cross-media business, earlier told the British VGC websiteInterviewAt the time, it was revealed that the company had already started developing a new game in the "Virtua Fighter" series.
In addition to Virtua Fighter, Justin Scarpone revealed that SEGA is currently working on several classic game titles, including the previously announced Crazy Taxi, as well as Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and other classic games that will be remade or developed as new titles.
In addition to game content, SEGA also plans to invest in the production of animation or live-action film content based on the game, thereby maximizing the value of the game content.
As for the "VR Fighter" that was revealed to be in the development of a new work, it was first presented in the form of an arcade in 1993, and became the world's first 3D fighting game, and created a real fighting feeling through three-dimensional scenes.
At the same time, the martial arts such as Bajiquan used by the characters were also realistically researched. Unlike most fighting games at the time, it was not presented in 2D horizontal graphics. It was also filled with a variety of flying props and moves. It was claimed that all moves were based on melee combat, plus it had operational features such as blocking, counterattacks, and lateral movement to avoid attacks. It attracted many players when it was launched, and subsequent series of works were released one after another, and even entered the e-sports stage.
However, after the release of "Virtual Knives Out 2006" in 5, SEGA has mostly ported the series to different game console platforms, or released ported and remastered works. It is not yet confirmed whether the content announced this time is the "Virtual Knives Out 6" that players are looking forward to.
