Virtua Fighter is back and trying to be bigger than it has been in many years with its current title getting pretty regular updates.
Sega has now released the official Version 1.03 patch notes for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. scheduled to hit the game next week.
It appears this new update is going to focus around adding some more quality of life features / functions to the game as well as handful of bug fixes.
Once again, there are no character-specific battle or balance changes included.
In a recent Virtua Fighter producer letter, the developers stated they are listening to player feedback, however, some larger changes may be difficult to implement at this time — but they are looking into solutions.
Recently, Sega also announced the Virtua Fighter Open Championship that’ll be a pro circuit with a $100,000 grand prize beginning at Combo Breaker 2025.
