The series that started the entire 3D fighting genre continues to evolve, as a brand-new, massively enhanced version has just entered the ring.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage, the next chapter from SEGA, has launched to the world. This new title is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, with the Standard Edition priced at just £15.99.
This is the moment fighting game fans have been waiting for, as this new release takes the legendary Virtua Fighter 5 gameplay to new heights with the introduction of Rollback Netcode and full cross-play support.
A New Challenger We’ve Been Expecting
We’ve been keenly anticipating this new challenger for a little while now. It was back in August that we first got wind of the new title when we reported that Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage would enter the ring soon. Now, that day has finally arrived for all fighting game aficionados.
The R.E.V.O.lution of a Classic
This isn’t just a simple port; it’s a massive upgrade that brings the classic fighter into the modern competitive era.
The biggest news for competitive players is the introduction of Rollback Netcode. This, combined with full Cross-play support, means you can now take on any challenger, anywhere, across the globe in the most intense and, crucially, smoothest battles yet.
The New “World Stage”
For those who prefer a solo quest, the game also introduces the brand-new single-player mode, “World Stage.” This mode challenges you to take on a series of powerful rivals on a solo journey to become the ultimate fighter. This is all backed up by enhanced replay functionality and improved training tools to help you perfect your craft.
And to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the very first Virtua Fighter, a special edition is also available for dedicated fans and newcomers who want the complete experience.
- Standard Edition (£15.99): Includes the full base game.
- 30th Anniversary Edition (£39.99): This is the ultimate collection, celebrating 30 years of the series. It includes the base game plus a host of exclusive costumes (including a Swimsuit Set), pre-production artwork, a soundtrack collection, the Virtua Fighter Legendary Pack DLC, the Yakuza Series Collaboration Pack DLC, and special ranking titles.
- 30th Anniversary Edition Upgrade (£29.99): For those who buy the Standard Edition first, this upgrade pack provides all the extra content from the 30th Anniversary Edition.
