Virtua Fighter Crossroads Reveals New Character at Evo

by Greg Martin

SEGA has released a new trailer for Virtua Fighter Crossroads during Evo 2026 in Las Vegas, introducing a brand-new character ahead of the game’s planned 2027 release.

The latest footage reveals the Bakunawa Killer, a mysterious figure who will play a central role in the game’s story while also joining the playable roster in Versus Mode.

According to SEGA, a string of attacks targeting martial artists has thrown the island city of Vilasapara into chaos. The trailer follows the Bakunawa Killer as the investigation into the assaults unfolds, with Pai and Cielo working to uncover the identity of the elusive attacker.

Virtua Fighter Crossroads is the next main entry in SEGA’s long-running fighting game series. The new instalment combines a cinematic story-driven adventure with the realistic hand-to-hand combat that has defined the franchise for decades.

The game is currently scheduled to launch in 2027.
