Hi everyone! This is Seiji Aoki, producer of the Legacy Virtua Fighter Project.

To the entire Virtua Fighter community: thank you so much for your passion and unwavering support. Your dedication is an integral part of what keeps VF alive, and I’m grateful to have you, and the team is excited to continue this journey with you in the year ahead.

This update marks my 12th Producer Letter, and one year since the launch of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Since then, we’ve released Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage on additional platforms, welcoming tons of new players in the process. It’s been amazing to see players from all over the world jump in and enjoy the game together and seeing our community grow means a great deal to the entire team.

We know many of you have been waiting patiently for news on the Nintendo Switch 2 version, so I’m happy to share that it will be released in just under two months on March 26! Ahead of launch, we’ll be running an open beta test starting February 18. Please stay tuned for more details.

We're also excited for the release of update Version 1.08 today, which includes a variety of bug fixes and adds Arabic and Hindi language support to Steam. We hope this makes the experience more enjoyable for players in these regions, and we look forward to your thoughts!

Next up, on March 1, we’ll be hosting the VIRTUA FIGHTER Open Championship Global Finals at TOKYO NODE HALL in the Toranomon Hills Station Tower in Tokyo. For all fans who would like to attend, seating for general spectators is now open! Along with the tournament, we’ll have giveaways, merch for sale, demo stations, a Mini tournament, food and drinks, and more available. If you can, I’d love you to join us to cheer on the competitors and hang out with the VF community to celebrate this milestone event.

I’ll continue to share the latest news and development insights through future Producer Letters and am looking forward to another great year together. Thank you again for being such an important part of Virtua Fighter.
