Virtua Fighter 5 is back …again! Originally released in Japanese arcades back in July 2006, Virtua Fighter 5 is the most recent title in the legacy SEGA series that helped shape modern 3D fighters. There have been several revisions for arcades and consoles over its 20-year history. Now in 2026, we have another version that is almost unrecognizable from its first home release on the PlayStation 3. Running in RGG’s Dragon Engine, in use since Yakuza 6, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage has a whole new facelift, UI redesign, improved sound design, battle changes, new costumes, DLC and rollback netcode for online fighting at an optimal level. If Nintendo gamers want their first taste of the magic that made Virtua Fighter 5 a game so good they’ve been releasing it for two decades, the ultimate version of the martial arts masterpiece is here on Switch 2.

Today, SEGA confirmed the release date for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage on Nintendo Switch 2 and also shared news about an upcoming beta.

The game will be ready to go on March 26, 2026. Digital and physical pre-orders are starting today. Those who purchase any version will receive the SEGA Hardware Customization Item “Genesis”, which is based on the legendary SEGA hardware.
