New Virtua Fighter Project Update

The live stream not only focused on R. E.V. O.but also provided insights on the New Virtua Fighter Project. A beloved character, Wolf Hawkfield, is set to return in this new franchise iteration. Producer Riichiro Yamada elaborated on the narrative evolution:

“In previous Virtua Fighter games, the backstories and motivations of the characters weren’t well known. This is one of the major differences between the previous games and our new game. Playing the new game will give you a much better sense of who the characters are, including their backstories and personalities.”

This initiative aims to deepen player engagement by providing clearer motivations for returning characters, including Wolf, whose wrestling passion drives his participation in the tournament. Players will uncover his journey and motivations since his last appearance.
