Virtua Fighter Crossroads Is Going For Broke On Things Most Fighting Games Wouldn’t Bother With
in newsletterKotaku · 6 min read · top_stories
Ryu Ga Gotoku is developing Virtua Fighter Crossroads as a "cinematic narrative fighting game," aiming to blend RGG's storytelling with Virtua Fighter's combat. Set a decade after VF5, the story follows four new protagonists including MMA fighter Cielo and kickboxer Stella Bridge. Producer Riichiro Yamada said the team chose to adapt the franchise's existing lore rather than abandon it, creating something "new and unique" by combining narrative depth with fighting gameplay—an approach most fighting games treat as secondary.
