AEW star’s finishing moves in leaked new Virtua Fighter game footage
The finishing moves of AEW stars Will Ospreay and Ricochet appear to be coming to the new Virtua Fighter game. Leaked footage of the newest iteration in the series (Virtua Fighter 6 Crossroads) shows what appears to be both the Hidden Blade and Spirit Gun being used.
The footage was posted to X by Self Made AO, showing off first the Hidden Blade and then what appears to be the Sprit Gun. There is currently no confirmation that the game has any sort of affiliation with All Elite Wrestling, but Ospreay did react to the footage, saying “never in my wildest dreams did I think a move I made up in the Hidden Blade would be in Virtua Fighter.”
AEW and Virtua Fighter 6 Crossroads
Virtua Fighter 6 Crossroads does not currently have a release date, although there is a lot of anticipation ahead of the CEO 2026 fighting game tournament in August, where fans are expecting a trailer to be dropped.
Again we do not have information currently regarding Virtua Fighter and AEW having any sort of official affiliation. There have been multiple fighting games in the past that have had pro wrestling links, like the Bullet Club merch you could get in Tekken 7, but it is not known at this time if the moves being added are in tribute or if there will be some sort of official collab.
