A Long-Awaited Return For Virtua Fighter
期待已久的 Virtua Fighter 回歸
Virtua Fighter, first released in 1993, has been a cornerstone of the fighting game genre, known for its deep, technical mechanics and its focus on precision.
Virtua Fighter 於 1993 年首次發佈，一直是格鬥遊戲類型的基石，以其深厚的技術機制和對精度的關注而聞名。
The franchise has cultivated a dedicated following, though its presence in the gaming landscape has waned in recent years. Fans have had to make do with its appearances as a mini-game in Sega's Yakuza series and the 2021 re-release of Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown. Apart from these, the series has never seen a full-fledged mainline release in over a decade.
儘管近年來其在遊戲領域的影響力有所減弱，但該系列已經培養了忠實的追隨者。粉絲們不得不將它作爲迷你遊戲出現在世嘉的《黑幫》系列以及2021年重新發布的《Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown》中。除此之外，該系列十多年來從未在主線上正式上映。
With the announcement of a new Virtua Fighter, many are speculating whether Sega is planning to deliver Virtua Fighter 6, potentially bringing the franchise back to the forefront of competitive fighting games. Virtua Fighter 5, first launched in 2006, is often cited as one of the greatest fighting games of all time, with its emphasis on technical depth and balanced gameplay.
隨着新款Virtua Fighter的發佈，許多人都在猜測世嘉是否計劃推出Virtua Fighter 6，這有可能使該系列重回競技格鬥遊戲的最前沿。Virtua Fighter 5於2006年首次推出，經常被認爲是有史以來最偉大的格鬥遊戲之一，它強調技術深度和平衡的遊戲玩法。
As Scarpone noted, Sega is not just focused on reviving games through digital releases; some of its classic franchises are also expanding into other forms of media to complement their gaming roadmaps.
正如Scarpone指出的那樣，世嘉不僅專注於通過數字發行來重振遊戲；其一些經典系列還擴展到其他形式的媒體，以補充其遊戲路線圖。
