Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2

Sega has revealed that it will be bringing its iconic fighting game franchise Virtua Fighter to the Nintendo Switch 2.

This launch will kick off with the debut of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O., which is set to arrive in the future. This edition of Virtua Fighter 5 will feature rollback netcode and cross-play capabilities, allowing you to battle against opponents on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.

This same game, developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (Yakuza) and AM2, was previously launched on Valve’s Steam platform for PC in January of this year and has received positive feedback thus far. The intention is to provide “more content to make this far beyond a mere port,” with additional details expected to be shared later on.
