Sega has a "new full entry" in the Virtua Fighter series on the way, Geoff Keighley announced during tonight's Game Awards broadcast. The last numbered Virtua Fighter game is Virtua Fighter 5, which first released in arcades in 2006. This new instalment is in the hands of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, best known for the Yakuza and Like a Dragon games.

All we saw at The Game Awards was the trailer above, but more details are being announced in a livestream happening at 9 pm PT tonight. I've embedded it below.
