SEGA has announced that Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage – a new and improved version of the 3D fighting game – will be getting a closed beta test on 11th September.
Players on PC eager to take part will have to request access to the closed beta on the Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage Steam page to hop in, while console players must create a SEGA account to receive a code from the campaign website.
The closed beta will feature online matchmaking including a ranked mode, an offline training mode, and an offline arcade mode. So both competitive ranked ladder climbers and combo lab monsters should have plenty to do.
The closed beta will start at 4AM BST on the 11th (or 8PM PT / 11PM ET on the 10th for those in North America) and will run until the following Tuesday, the 16th September. That gives closed beta players the whole weekend and some change to get their games in.
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is set to release on 30th October, 2025 on the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S
