Sega announces a remake of Viruta Fighter 5 -apkrig
A few minutes ago, Sega surprised us with a surprising announcement – after fifteen long years, the Virtua Fighter series will come to life, which will return next Tuesday with a remake of the last big episode. The Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown will arrive exclusively on PlayStation 4 on June 1st, and fans have something to look forward to based on the first shots and screenshots.
