"VF5 R.E.V.O." Producer Letter #5
Hello, I’m Seiji Aoki, producer of the "Legacy VIRTUA FIGHTER Project." I hope you’re all enjoying the "Replay Mode" feature we introduced in Ver.1.04! We’d love to hear any feedback and thoughts through our socials or our official Discord channel. Now on to some VIRTUA FIGHTER Open Championship (VFOC) news. Coming in hot is the deadline to register for the first of four online VFOC qualifiers on June 20th. As a reminder, these qualifiers offer a chance to compete for a spot to the Global Finals. I encourage you to sign up today and mark your calendars – I promise it won’t be one to miss! Also, the registration deadline for the second VFOC offline qualifier – the "ASIA Qualifier in JAPAN", is on June 22. To add to the excitement, all participants who enter will receive an original VF Tournament T-Shirt! So, if you haven’t registered yet, please do so before its too late. Even if you decide not to participate as a player, general admission is FREE, so I hope to see you there in person to witness the intense battles for a spot in the Global Finals! Finally, I’m thrilled to announce that the next update, Ver.1.05, is scheduled for mid-July. Key updates include the option to watch other players' replays in the “Replay Mode”, along with the option to conceal player names during gameplay. Many known bugs are also planned to be fixed in this update. As always, we will continue to implement updates based on requests from players. More details will be shared in another Producer Letter once finalized, so please stay tuned. All of us on the VF team look forward to meeting all participants and fans at the "VFOC ASIA Qualifier in JAPAN," on 7/6 at our SEGA headquarters – please come by and say hello! Thank you all for your continued support of VF and SEGA. 6/18/2025 Legacy VIRTUA FIGHTER Project Producer Seiji Aoki
