Release Date: June 1, 2021
The second remaster of Virtua Fighter 5, featuring all of the new features of Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown as well as a number of improvements. Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown also uses the new Dragon Engine technology.
Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. is the second remastered version of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown (also a remaster). This newer version stands out due to a number of previously unavailable features and a new graphics engine - Dragon Engine. It is the result of a collaboration between Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and SEGA AM2, both belonging to SEGA company.
In Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. we are participating in the V world fighting tournament. The best warriors from around the globe were invited and it was financed by the J6 organization. The company does not have particularly pure intentions - it intends to find the one who previously dared to free Vanessa, whom it had kidnapped, and also to test its new combat machine with human characteristics - V-Dural. It is our responsibility to thwart its plans for world domination, and consequently - to win the tournament.
In Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. we have 19 players at our disposal, varying in of gender, appearance and fighting style. Among them, we will find both fighters known from earlier parts of the series, as well as heroes introduced in Virtua Fighter 5 (Eileen and El Blaze) and Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown (Jean Kujo).
The heroes fight fierce duels in a variety of arenas located in picturesque sceneries, including snow-covered mountain peaks, a park at sunset, and a Far Eastern temple. The battlefields are not just a backdrop for exchanging blows. Their selected elements are interactive, and by breaking through fences or walls, we gain access to the next parts of a given location.
The combat system was developed in such a way that both players with no experience in fighting games and those who gained experience on previous parts of the series and other productions of this type could enjoy the fun.
Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. offers a wide range of game modes. We can participate in ranked matches, Arcade mode, and the training module. Besides, the game features a multiplayer Versus mode, in which we can compete with other players locally or over the Internet. The novelty is the ability to create private "rooms" for up to sixteen people and participate in League Matches and Tournament Matches, as well as watch the fights of other players.
Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown / R.E.V.O. uses the Dragon Engine technology, developed for the games Lost Judgment. The change of engine resulted in improved graphic quality compared not only to the original Virtua Fighter 5, but also to Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. They include refreshed character models, arenas, and cutscenes. In addition, the accompanying gameplay soundtrack was expanded and improved.
PC version of the game, named R.E.V.O., was based on Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown from 2021. It differs from it with slightly refreshed graphics ing resolutions up to 4K, the addition of rollback netcode function, and gameplay balance improvements (also available in the original).

Game Ratings for Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. / Ultimate Showdown Video Game.
Loot Level Chill: 9 / 10 by Sean Smith
Virtua Fighter 5 REVO is technical, fat-free arcade combat at its best, and this polished PC port deserves to put a ton of new eyes on the product
Cloud Dosage: 4.4 / 5 by Jon Scarr
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O refines the classic fighter with rollback netcode, balance updates, and sharp visuals. Its strategic combat remains strong, but missing single-player modes and the lack of crossplay hold it back from feeling like a full upgrade. While it’s the best version for competitive play, it still feels like a temporary step before a true sequel.
Saving Content: 3 / 5 by Scott Ellison II
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is a solid fighting game that’s been remastered by the Like a Dragon developers at Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio to be the “definitive edition” of Virtua Fighter 5. The combat system is deliberate and enjoyable for anyone to pick-up and play. Unfortunately the dated presentation and overall lack of content when compared to other fighters holds it back, but the inclusion of rollback netcode is essential. Ultimately, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is a 20-year old game that will likely only appeal to the most hardcore of fighting games fans that are fiending for something new, but it’s modest price should attract many.
