SEGA Publishing Korea announced that it has released a new character video for Virtua Fighter Crossroads and started the launch preview for Football Manager 27 (FM27) on the 30th. The FM27 preview period runs until November 4 at 3 a.m. KST.
Scheduled for release in 2027, the latest video for Virtua Fighter Crossroads introduces young fighter Lionel Rafale. He appears as a character skilled enough to overwhelm the protagonist, Cielo, during a street fight.
Virtua Fighter Crossroads is a fighting adventure game that combines the series' head-to-head battles with RGG Studio's story-driven experience. Set in Vilasapara, a fictional city on a tropical Southeast Asian island, the game unfolds the stories of four protagonists in an omnibus format. Players explore downtown, entertainment districts, and resort areas, forming relationships with the city's residents through main and side stories. In addition to multi-opponent fights and boss battles tied into the narrative, the game also supports online matches. Platforms have yet to be determined.
The FM27 launch preview announced by SEGA Publishing Korea and Sports Interactive is available on Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, Xbox Game Pass, and PC Game Pass. Participating via Game Pass requires an active Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass subscription. During the preview period, players can access all game modes, including the new multiplayer mode, Shuffle Draft.
FM27 is officially scheduled to release on November 11. Progress made during the launch preview will carry over to the full release. Replacing the previous beta and early access versions, this preview aims to deliver quality and completeness close to that of the final release.
However, the preview contains information currently undergoing rights holder approval processes, which may not accurately reflect real-world data. Some team and player assets may also be omitted. FM27 is a football club management simulation game in which players take full managerial control to run a football club.
