Virtua Fighter 5 is coming to the Xbox 360, Sega announced today, and although it will hit the PlayStation 3 first, its Xbox 360 debut won’t be too many months afterwards.
Virtua Fighter 5 is scheduled for release on Xbox 360 in North America and Europe sometime during the later summer months of 2007. The PS3 version will be available in North America on February 20 and will be available in Europe simultaneously with the PS3’s launch there in March 2007.
From Sega’s announcement:
“Virtua Fighter 5 features beautifully detailed stages from around the world where players face off in fast-moving martial arts battles against one of 17 characters. Two new characters join the elite group of fighters, all with their own unique fighting style. With more skill and strategy than ever before, players will employ a new Offensive Move technique to take down their opponents from different angles. The game also includes the ability to customize your own character by selecting from four base costumes and a wide range of unlockable accessories and earnable items. As players win more tournaments they will not only earn costumes and accessories, but also prizes and in-game money that will allow them to buy items from the in-game shop.”
