At Evo 2026 in Las Vegas, SEGA has released a brand-new trailer for VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS—scheduled to launch in 2027—revealing the “Bakunawa Killer,” a new character who will be featured in the story and playable in the game’s Versus Mode.
A series of attacks on martial artists has shaken the very streets of Vilasapara, the turbulent island city where the game’s story is set. The latest trailer depicts the mysterious man behind the attacks, the Bakunawa Killer, as well as Pai and Cielo, who are on the trail of his true identity.
VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS is an all-new installment in the iconic fighting game series that delivers a bold action-adventure experience that blends a cinematic narrative with the pure, realistic combat the franchise is known for.

Interesting, though wonder why they are doing away with the realistic FPS fighting system that was shown last year at the official series re-launch reveal, where it was believed SEGA was working with Nvidia to achieve the new system for the next Virtua Fighter, that was one of the aspects that got everybody talking, but the animation now looks more akin to Mortal Kombat, unless it is still very early prototype tech they are using as a placeholder just now, or maybe the technology just still isn’t there yet to achieve something as advanced as that and it was more just a souped up graphical showcase to generate hype for the series re-launch.
