VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS goes beyond the boundaries of traditional fighting games, delivering a fighting adventure where story and combat become one.

An Unseen City, An Untold Story — A New VIRTUA FIGHTER Begins.
“The use of firearms in this city will be punished by death.”
In the year 20XX, the Arma Carta ended an era of bloodshed in Vilasapara, allowing the crime syndicates operating there to establish a tenuous balance. Until now.
President Bato has made Vilasapara a key part of his reelection campaign, as he positions the city’s “Vila Fight Fest” as the solution to the country’s economic woes. He seeks to bring the underground fighting tournament to the world stage as a national sport.
His plans are probably unrelated to the recent series of attacks on martial artists by a man dubbed The Bakunawa Killer, but who can truly say.
It is at this crossroads that the fates of four strangers will intersect, causing phantoms from decades past begin to stir… and changing the city of Vilasapara forever.
Vilasapara, a New City Brought to Life by RGG Studio
The story unfolds in Vilasapara, a fictional metropolis located in Southeast Asia. Known as a fighting town, it comprises multiple distinct areas, from the walled city center to its entertainment and resort districts.
Alongside the main story, explore to uncover a host of side stories and quests tied to the people and places of the city. Crafted by RGG Studio, Vilasapara forms the living, breathing world of VIRTUA FIGHTER CROSSROADS.
Next-Level Fights
Throughout Story Mode, you will encounter a variety of dramatic showdowns, from multi-opponent brawls to intense boss battles, seamlessly woven into the narrative.
You can also jump straight into Battle Mode to fight in one-on-one matches both online and offline.
