I am SO hyped ! 🥳
Story time: in the late 90's, the concept of a Virtua Fighter RPG was around, who morphed into "Project Berkley" who finally gave birth to one of the most groundbreaking and influencial game ever, who left a mark still visible in contemporary releases: Shenmue.
In 2000, Toshihiro Nagoshi, who worked on Shenmue, opened Amusement Vision, Ltd (formerly Sega AM4), later rebranded has Ryū ga Gotoku Studio, the studio who bring this little franchise you might've heard of: Like a Dragon (or Yakuza, like it was known in the west).
And recently, it's Ryū ga Gotoku Studio who was tasked to bring back to life the legendary and original pillar of 3D fighting games that is Virtua Fighter.
It's such a beautiful and moving project when you know the great History behind it !
A project with the soul of Virtua Fighter, Shenmue and Like a Dragon, this is going to make history.
We might be witnessing the birth of a new SEGA golden age, a feel of arcade, fun and bright colors that is deeply missing in today gaming landscape.
Intersecting fates.
Chosen futures
