Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O, a remastered version of the beloved arcade fighter, is hitting Steam this winter! Discover what this exciting remaster has to offer.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O: Steam Debut for a Fighting Game Legend

Virtua Fighter's First Steam Appearance

SEGA is bringing the acclaimed Virtua Fighter series to Steam for the very first time with Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. This latest remaster builds upon the 18-year legacy of Virtua Fighter 5, marking the fifth major iteration of the game. While the exact release date remains under wraps, SEGA promises a winter launch.

SEGA proudly calls Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O "the ultimate remaster," boasting rollback netcode for smooth online battles, even on less-than-ideal internet connections. Stunning 4K graphics, enhanced high-resolution textures, and a boosted 60fps frame rate ensure a fluid and visually impressive experience.

Classic modes like Rank Match, Arcade, Training, and Versus return, joined by exciting new additions: custom online tournaments and leagues (supporting up to 16 players!), and a Spectator Mode for learning new techniques from top players.

The YouTube trailer has generated overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many fans expressing their excitement to purchase yet another version of the game, and celebrating its arrival on PC. However, the anticipation for a Virtua Fighter 6 remains strong among some dedicated fans.

The Virtua Fighter 6 Speculation

Earlier this month, interviews hinted at a potential Virtua Fighter 6 announcement. This led to considerable fan speculation. However, the November 22nd Steam release of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O, with its visual upgrades, new modes, and rollback netcode, clarified SEGA's immediate plans.

A Classic Fighting Game Returns

Initially launched on SEGA Lindbergh arcades in July 2006, then ported to PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2007, Virtua Fighter 5 thrust players into the Fifth World Fighting Tournament. The original featured 17 fighters; Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O expands the roster to 19 playable characters.

Since its debut, Virtua Fighter 5 has seen numerous updates and remasters:

⚫︎ Virtua Fighter 5 R (2008)
⚫︎ Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown (2010)
⚫︎ Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown (2021)
⚫︎ Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O (2024)

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O delivers a thrilling experience for long-time fans and newcomers alike, thanks to its modernized features and enhanced visuals.
