Sega has announced that Virtua Fighter 5 will be published on the PlayStation 3 as a launch title in March ahead of an Xbox 360 release in late Winter.
Virtua Fighter 5 features 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, adding unique fighting styles for players to try and master.
Sega sats the game requires more skill and strategy than ever before, while players are also given the opportunity to learn and employ the new 'Offensive Move' technique to take down their opponents from different angles, adding a new dimension to the game.
Virtua Fighter 5 also includes the ability to customise characters 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.
