Koeie Tecmo are polishing off a new version of Dead or Alive 6 for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam this June, while also teasing Dead or Alive New Project, which we’re just going to assume will eventually be called Dead or Alive 7.

Originally released in 2019, we were promised the “definitive version” of the game, which has been “optimised for the latest hardware”, but no specifics were provided as to what that means. Fans will be pleased to know there will be a dedicated photo mode “enabling players the ability to capture every angle of their favourite fighters by exploring brand-new features such as ‘character position’ and ‘pose selection'”.

The game will feature the original roster of 24 players, plus Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel, and Tamaki who were DLC characters.  If you own the 2019 game your saves and DLC purchases will carry over to the new version, and there will be new DLC inspired by Ninja Gaiden 3 and other titles.

There will also be a free-to-play version Dead or Alive 6 Last Round Core Fighters edition, which will include three fighters, Marie Rose, Honoka, and NiCO.

Dead or Alive 6 continued the series tradition of having improbable boob physics, with jiggles and perving over scantily clad female characters, but did try and balance things out a little…. by putting some of the male characters in tiny shorts.

Along with all that we have news of a brand new Dead or Alive game that is currently being developed, and has been introduced with a gratuitous lingering shot of boobs. Classy as ever.
