For those who are into the culture and community around video games, the NeoGAF forum is a familiar source for leaks and hints from folks with connections inside the industry. In the latest round of such leaks, known insider Verendus dropped a ton of info regarding a good number of games, including one that should be of interest for fighting game fans – a possible new Virtua Fighter from Sega.

Traditionally, a new installment has accompanied the start of each console generation, with the first iteration of Virtua Fighter 5 launching in 2006. This latest round of consoles, however, has been the first time that this hasn’t been the case. Since then, fans have had to make do with Virtua Fighter characters making guest appearances in games such as Team NINJA’s Dead or Alive 5 and  Sega’s own Dengeki Bunko FIGHTING CLIMAX.

If this leak is true, then it will be tremendous news for the competitive community, as not only would it mean a new Virtua Fighter game, but that Sega hasn’t just given up and decided to save the series’ character for guest appearances only.
