Does Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. has anything to do with the "new Virtua Fighter project"?

No, it doesn't.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is basically just PC Port of Playstation's Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown with 30th Anniversary Edition Upgrade.

I see. I know the new Virtua Fighter project is being made with the same people who made the Yakuza games, so I imagine it'll be Virtua Fighter with a story mode. Maybe a reboot of the series.

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is actually also being made with the same people who made the Yakuza games.
They also added the Yakuza colab to the Virtua Fighter back then in Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown (plus in R.E.V.O. too of course).



So the release may be like ... while you wait for the reboot, here's the remake of the latest game to keep the hype alive.

Interesting. Maybe to see if they're up for the task to inherit Virtua Fighter franchise?

I think so. But safe to say that they are in good hands.
Just like Super Monkey Ball franchise who's also in their hands.
It constantly got updates and colab crossovers ...

With the "Sega Renaissance" we had in 2020, the upcoming "Power Surge" and Project Virtua Fighter, do you think Sega will be in good hands for Classic-era fans?

Yes, but keep in mind that SEGA seems only to ressurect franchises which have sequels.
Franchise that only has one game seems to be abandoned ....









So don't really get any hopes for them. At least for now.
