At Evo 2025, we had the chance to sit down with Riichiro Yamada, the producer of the new Virtua Fighter Project, and ask him about his vision for the series, how gameplay might change from the older games, and who the heck Stella might be! Thanks to World of Longplays and the player (georgc3) for use of their footage! https://www.youtube.com/@worldoflongplays https://longplays.org/home.php https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7HQ2vspMHA
Timecodes 00:00 – How close to the concept footage do you expect the final game to look? 00:53 – How are you planning on modernizing the new Virtua Fighter? 02:26 – Based on how you’ve described the new VF in the past, what does "innovation" and "reality" mean to you? 04:13 – Are these the same characters from the old games or is it more of a reboot? 06:06 – Who is Stella, and what’s her connection with Sarah Bryant? 06:30 – Is it important for VF to be only three buttons or does it need to evolve? 08:16 – Is Akira still the face of the franchise?
