Virtua Fighter 5 REVO comes to PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2 with crossplay
The latest iteration of Virtua Fighter 5, known as Virtua Fighter 5: REVO, which debuted on PC earlier this year, is set to arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch (upon its June release). This updated version will feature crossplay compatibility and rollback netcode support between all console versions and the original PC version.
Wolf Hawkfield revealed for the next Virtua Fighter
Over the weekend, as a dedicated gamer, I was thrilled to catch a glimpse of the upcoming Virtua Fighter game by Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. One iconic character from the series that caught my eye was none other than Wolf Hawkfield, the Canadian pro wrestler. He’s beefed up even more this time around, giving off a vibe reminiscent of Link’s Triforce of Power. I can’t wait to see him in action for the next installment of Virtua Fighter!
Andy Bogard playable in Fatal Fury City of the Wolves at EVO Japan 2025
Following the release of Fatal Fury: City of Wolves, SNK is eagerly preparing to roll out DLC characters, with Andy Bogard being the first on the list. Although SNK hasn’t shared any official videos, Andy was playable at events and channels like NeoGeoNow provided a sneak peek into his gameplay. Initially, we had concerns that he might be too similar to Hokutomaru, but Andy Bogard seems to have distinct characteristics now. We’re excited to see more of how he performs in the game.
Galleon gameplay revealed for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising
In the newest season of Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, a fresh character named Galleon has made her debut and been assigned a launch date. Although she appears as a mage, Galleon’s magical abilities excel in close-to-mid combat. She employs an assortment of command grab throws to hurl and smash opponents across the screen, making her an intriguing character to follow when she enters GBVSR on May 28, 2025.
Fahkumram and Pac-Man content revealed for Tekken 8
In the upcoming Season 2 of Tekken 8, there were numerous exciting previews, but the most notable announcements included the introduction of a new stage modeled after Pac-Man and Fahkumram as the next DLC character. Fahkumram, who made his debut in Tekken 7, is a Muay Thai kickboxer set to return. Given his powerful presence in the previous game, fans are eagerly anticipating whether he’ll remain formidable in Tekken 8. Additionally, a revamped Pac-Man with new outfits, hit effects, and a fully-realized stage inspired by the classic arcade icon are also on the way. Keep an eye out for release dates to be announced at a later time.
