Virtua Fighter returns with a story mode and now developed by Ryu ga Gotoku Studio.

Overview

The 6th new mainline Virtua Fighter and the first that's not a spinoff or update of a previous title since Virtua Fighter 5 (Game) debuted in July 2006. VF Crossroads makes use of a brand new engine based off of Unreal Engine 5, multiple new characters, and the series first ever story mode allowing players to explore the universe of Virtua Fighter that was often only hinted at in supplemental materials.

Story

The main story is set in a fictional Southeast Asian city called Vilasapara, expected to revolve around four new characters whose fates intertwine as the story plays out. Multiple video game veterans were brought in to contribute to the story and setting of Crossroads, including David Hayter (Person) (World Building Supervisor), Brad Kane (Person) (Lead Writer), Tsuyoshi Furuta (Person) (Scenario Director), and Shinji Yamamoto (Person) (Scenario Writer)

Cielo Salinas, a Paraguayan/American fighter in the country, is paid by the local branch of the Chinese Triads to take a dive during a match, but he refuses to play along and beats their fighter, earning their wrath. He is saved from Triad gangsters by the owner of the restaurant, who turns out to be Pai Chan (Character).

Gameplay

In the story mode, Crossroads will have a bit more 3D movement and action similar to the Like A Dragon games. Plans are to allow the main character to walk through the city of Vilasapara in-between story beats.

However, the game will retain the classic VS Fighting mode, with 1-on-1 battles where both characters fight until one fighter's HP is reduced to 0, or is knocked out of the ring, losing the round.

Characters

Confirmed returning from earlier Virtua Fighter games:

New Characters in Crossroads

Cielo Salinas (Character): Paraguayan/American MMA fighter
