Event

Virtua Wars is a team battle event featuring a variety of veteran VFers, popular streamers, and professional players. This is a collaboration between SEGA and G-Star Gaming, a women eSports team. The two teams will be led by well-know VF veterans Ohsu Akira and Bunbunmaru.

SEGA just announced the grand prize for winning the Virtua Fighter Open Championship (VFOC) is $100,000! Qualifiers will be held in North America, Europe, Asia (all Asian regions except Japan), and Japan. The first qualifier to start the VFOC will be at Combo Breaker.

February 6, 2025. Virtua Fighter will be be present for all 3 days of EVO Japan 2025. The Special Tournament--exact details not announced yet--will take place on Friday, May 9th. Instead of just a 1 day marathon, Beat-Tribe Cup will run for two days: Saturday, May 10th to Sunday, May 11th.

To help usher a new era of VF and also to promote fans to use the Official Virtua Fighter Discord channel, SEGA has asked several members of the community to help out.
