Virtua Fighter 6 In-Engine Footage Revealed
The latest on Virtua Fighter 6 includes the reveal of in-engine footage at CES 2025 by NVIDIA. This footage is described as “in-engine” but not “actual gameplay,” suggesting it’s a tech demo to showcase the capabilities of the game’s engine rather than final gameplay. The reveal highlighted that the game is being developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, known for the Yakuza series, and it uses what appears to be an evolution of their Dragon Engine. The footage shows Akira Yuki, a prominent character from the series, in two different forms, one with a tattered robe and another with karate pants and no shirt, engaging in combat with realistic physics and animations noted for their weight and impact. This reveal has stirred excitement among fans, with posts on X expressing awe at the visual quality and potential gameplay depth. However, no official release date or platforms have been confirmed yet for Virtua Fighter 6.
