The series has mostly been dormant since then. The only original titles have been ''Virtua Fighter: Cool Champ'', a mobile card game in 2011 and ''Virtua Fighter: Fever Combo'', another mobile card game in 2014. Sega has recently made an effort to move into the fighting game e-sports scene and have made an initiative. This included ''Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown'', a remaster of the original game, for PlayStation 4 in 2021. Enhancements include a move to the Dragon Engine, notably used for titles from {{iw|wikipedia|Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio}}'s ''{{iw|wikipedia|Like a Dragon|franchise}}'' franchise, overhauled UI and online features, and a significant amount of new tertiary content. After the remaster's release, it would receive crossovers with other franchises between smaller updates; starting off with the ''Like a Dragon'' franchise in December 2021, then with the ''Tekken'' franchise in March 2022. | The series has mostly been dormant since then.
