The enhanced version of Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is coming to consoles! After releasing on PC this past January, SEGA and developers Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have announced that console ports are on their way.
It will feature everything the PC release had, with added cross-play support.
The Definitive Version of Virtua Fighter 5 is Coming to Consoles
As revealed during today’s VF Direct (viewable above), Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is coming to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch 2! While no release date has been confirmed, Virtua Fighter project producer Seiji Aoki said that the decision to bring it to other platforms came after seeing the flood of fans demanding it from various Virtua Fighter channels. He goes on to say that this won’t be just a simple port, confirming that not only will the rollback function in the Steam version be coming to the console release, but also cross-play support, as well as hinting at new content coming that they will reveal in a future update.
Here are some features (via Steam) that were part of the PC release:
- The Ultimate Edition of this legendary game: Rollback Netcode support, gorgeous 4K visuals with updated high-res textures and more.
- Custom Combatants: Enter the ring with one of 19 playable characters. Master each of their unique fighting styles and customize them with distinctive costumes and items.
- The Full Experience: Enjoy the pinnacle of Virtua Fighter as you battle it out across your favorite modes like Rank Match, Arcade, Training, and Versus
- Crush the Competition: Take on challengers from around the world as you compete with up to 16 players in new online modes including Tournaments and League.
Again, no release date has been given for the console release. Hopefully it’s sometime this year, as this should hold players over until Virtua Fighter 6 is released.
