Virtua Fighter 5 Confirmed for PS3
May 8, 2006
Sega officially announced today that the next installment in the Virtua Fighter series will see a home version hit the PlayStation 3. Virtua Fighter 5 will first be available in the arcades, with a PS3 port expected in the Spring of 2007.
Virtua Fighter 5 will see the return of 17 popular characters, as well as the inclusion of two new additions: El Blaze, and Eileen. El Blaze is Mexican, and favors Lucha Libre fighting, while Eileen hails from China, preferring Monkey Kung Fu style.
While standard arcade modes will be making a return for this game, it looks like Sega is taking notes from recent editions of Soul Calibur, introducing modes where players earn money to buy new items over the course of the game.
