Hi everyone, this is Seiji Aoki, Producer of the Legacy Virtua Fighter Project.
It’s surprising, but this marks the 10th Producer Letter! I sincerely thank each of you for taking the time to read these updates each month.
How’s Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage treating you so far? Though it launched a few weeks ago it’s been incredible to see so many of you diving into the new content we’ve worked hard to deliver. Theres so much Im proud of in this title, but one of the most is the cross-platform play. Truly unifying the global Virtua Fighter community like never before is amazing and seeing everyone connected and competing across platforms brings me so much joy.
As always, we’re committed to keeping the game fresh with regular updates, and your feedback plays a key role in shaping its future. Please continue to share any ideas or suggestions with us on our official Discord. We love hearing from you!
A big congratulations to player GentlemanThief, champion of the “NORTH AMERICA #2” online qualifier. We look forward to seeing you in action at the Global Finals! And to everyone who participated; thank you for giving it your all and contributing to the excitement of the competition.
This past weekend, we held the final offline qualifier at Thaiger Uppercut 2025 in Thailand and locked in the last spot of the VFOC. With our 10 competitors locked-in they will need to prep for the ultimate showdown: the Virtua Fighter Open Championship Global Finals, happening on March 1, 2026 at TOKYO NODE HALL in Toranomon Hills Station Tower, Tokyo. Fun fact: this will be held at the highest-altitude venue ever used for a fighting game tournament. Just another example of how we’re elevating the fight to the next level, both figuratively and literally!
Whether you’re joining us in person or cheering on the competitors online, we can’t wait to share this memorable experience with you. And keep an eye out for exclusive merchandise that will be available at the finals, we’ll provide more details soon!
As always, thank you for your continued support of Virtua Fighter and SEGA. See you soon!
