Shown during their Tokyo Game Show presentation, Virtua Fighter X esports Project was debuted with a trailer showcasing competitive players. <\/p>\n
It’s unclear exactly what the project will involve, although an official description (translated by Nibel<\/a>) states: “The gold standard of gaming is finally back in esports. Announcing the Virtua Fighter x esports Project.<\/p>\n “Virtua Fighter, the world’s first 3D fighting game in 1993, will be rebooted in Japan first to celebrate Sega’s 60th anniversary. Stay tuned for more news on this one.”<\/p>\n It’s unclear if this means a direct reboot of the original Virtua Fighter is on the horizon, although many will be likely disappointed now if this isn’t the case. <\/p>\n The last mainline entry in the series was Virtua Fighter 5 back in 2006 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, so another instalment is certainly overdue. <\/p>\n You can check out the trailer below. <\/p>\n
