But it\u2019s still very early, so that\u2019s all for now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Original Story:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Virtua Fighter&#039;s Wolf Hawkfield Looks Beastly in PS5 Makeover 1\" href=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/a255e2474d906\/virtua-fighters-wolf-hawkfield-looks-beastly-in-ps5-makeover-1.large.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/virtua-fighters-wolf-hawkfield-looks-beastly-in-ps5-makeover-1.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter's Wolf Hawkfield Looks Beastly in PS5 Makeover 1\"\/><\/a>Image: Push Square<\/p>\n<p>Feral <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/virtua_fighter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtua Fighter<\/a> Wolf Hawkfield has been given a beastly makeover for Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio\u2019s upcoming reboot.<\/p>\n<p>While the character undoubtedly looks familiar, with his sharp nose and red tribal paint, his neck beard and unkempt red hair give him a much more savage appearance compared to previous games in the franchise. We love the new look!<\/p>\n<p>Also, special mention must be reserved to this reveal video, which sees the character \u201cwalk out\u201d like a boxer or wrestler. We assume this how the developer\u2019s going to announce the rest of the release\u2019s cast, and we\u2019re excited to see how the rest of property\u2019s protagonists have been redesigned.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, this isn\u2019t the only Virtua Fighter announcement planned for today, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/05\/ps5s-new-virtua-fighter-grabs-a-reveal-event-this-weekend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a livestream will get underway<\/a> from 7AM PT \/ 3PM BST.
