Some sad news has surfaced for those that are excited for Team Ninja’s upcoming fighter Dead or Alive 6, which was originally scheduled to release February 15th. KOEI Tecmo and Team Ninja have announced the game is being pushed back to March 1st citing they want to polish the game more before release.

You can read their full statement below:

“The title’s development is already near complete; however, we would like to take more time to further polish its balance, gameplay, and expressivity. In return for your patience, we commit to bringing you the best DEAD OR ALIVE gaming experience,” said Yohei Shimbori, the game’s Producer and Director. “I am truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the release delay of DEAD OR ALIVE 6.”

This is certainly the better option to pick then release the game when it isn’t ready just to meet a deadline, so hopefully this polish pays off in the end.

Dead or Alive 6 is releasing for Playstation 4, XBOX One and PC via Steam.

We mentioned a little while back what Pre-order incentives will be available for Dead or Alive 6, but for those who are unsure or confused with which edition gives what, don’t fret KOEI Tecmo America have provided a simple roadmap to follow.

You can see said roadmap below (click to enlarge):

So hopefully this will now clear any confusion there is, and can get the bonus you want with your pre-order. Though keep in mind all of these bonuses will be available as DLC eventually.

More returning veterans have been confirmed to be making their way to the 6th tournament of Dead or Alive. Eliot first debut’d in Dead or Alive 4 and Brad Wong debut’d in Dead or Alive 3. Along with the return of these two characters, a new stage has been revealed, simply known as ‘Unforgettable’.

If you are unaware who the two characters are you can read both their official bio’s below:

Eliot Biography:
“Eliot is an orphan, and he remains uncertain of why his master chose him to be his one and only disciple. It is in search of an answer to this that he has decided to enter the 4th Tournament. In order to hone his skills, he has left his master’s side and set off on a journey of self-discovery. Where, for some reason, he soon found himself accompanied by Brad Wong. Eventually, his training paid off, and he was able to learn the legendary Xinyi Liuhe Quan, entering the 6th DOA Tournament as a truly first-rate martial artist.”

Brad Wong Biography:
“A master of Zui Ba Xian Quan, he can usually be found with a drink in his hand. Aloof and never flustered, he loves women almost as much as he loves good liquor. He was spending his days training in the remote mountains of China, until his master ordered him to go on a journey to search for a legendary mysterious liquor. He has entered the 3rd and 4th Tournaments, but skipped the 5th, joining Eliot on his travels. His reasons for entering the tournament are unclear.”

The roster of Dead or Alive 6 is starting to grow quite nicely, with many veteran and new fighters alike. With the announcement of these two fighters coming back a trailer featuring both them and the new stage were released and can be viewed below:

Dead or Alive 6 will be releasing February 15th 2019 worldwide for PS4, XB1 and PC via Steam.

More news to come from the Dead or Alive festival, this time in the form of a new trailer and a brand new character reveal. Let’s introduce everyone to NiCO, and you can read her full bio below:

NiCO Biography:

NiCO, known as “The Lightning Technomancer” is a practitioner of Pencak Silat, a historic martial art of Southeast Asia. The frenetic fighter employs powerful plasma discharges in her attacks, boosting her Pencak Silat strikes to another level, while at the same time using her EMF Rings to move at ultrahigh rates of speed. But that’s not all; as NiCO is also a genius scientist entrusted with Donovan’s secret M.I.S.T. development project. Despite her youthful appearance, she provides a genuine threat to the ninjas with her sharp, analytical mind and her natural sense for martial arts.

Along with NiCO’s reveal, both Kokoro and La Mariposa, both of Dead or Alive 4 fame have returned to the fray. For those who don’t know you can read their bios below:

Kokoro Biography:

Joining NiCO in Dead or Alive 6 is the latest reveal is Helena’s half-sister, Kokoro. A master of Ba Ji Quan, Kokoro uses a combination of elbow and palm thrusts to compliment an array of throws aimed at destroying her opponent’s balance. Graceful, yet powerful, Kokoro’s fighting style incorporates the hard and soft elements that represent the spirit she refines through her maiko training.

La Mariposa Biography:

Also returning to action is La Mariposa, a luchadora who excels at aerial attacks and is known as “The Immortal Butterfly”. Under the mask, the professional wrestler is really Lisa Hamilton – a former DOATEC researcher who at one time conducted experiments on the ninja Hayate. And although it was rumored that she had retired after the 5th Tournament, La Mariposa is back, deadlier than ever.

We are starting to look at quite a lively roster of characters to play with in the next Dead or Alive instalment. Below you can check out their reveal trailer:

Dead or Alive 6 comes out February 15th 2019 worldwide for PS4, XB1 and PC via Steam.

Dead or Alive 3 veteran Christie is making her way back into Dead or Alive 6, looking as stylish as ever. Revealed at Paris Games Week 2018, you get a first look at how Christie will look and fight in the game. Below you can check out her official profile and arrival trailer showing her off to the extreme!

Christie

–Country: United Kingdom
–Age: 26
–Blood Type: B
–Height / Weight: 177cm / 57kg
–Occupation: Assassin
–Favorite food or drink: Tomato Juice
–Hobby: Driving
–Fighting Style: Snake Fist – Like a snake, she approaches the enemy while dodging attacks, then—faster than the eye can see—brings them down with a single deadly blow.

A cold-blooded assassin and a master of the art of Shequan (Snake Fist).

Former associate and a rival of Bayman. She was placed in charge of arranging the assassination of Fame Douglas by Victor Donovan, and also monitored Helena’s movements for him under the guise of working as her attendant. Currently she works for M.I.S.T. as Donovan’s loyal servant, and her true relation to Rig is still covered in mystery.

“Road Rage” Stage

A scene of a horrific highway traffic collision. Black smoke licks the sky above the piles of broken cars that threaten to catch on fire any moment, and trucks hang above at dangerous angles. Fighters with some imagination will surely find a way to use these conditions to their advantage.

Dead or Alive 6 will be releasing worldwide February 15th 2019 on Playstation 4, XBOX One and PC via Steam.

Are you glad to see Christie make her return? Excited to pick up Dead or Alive 6 in February? Let us know in those comments!

Dead or Alive 6 has Pre-order bonuses and DLC characters already revealed.

Some more news has surfaced for Dead or Alive 6 with TGS 2018 happening. Along with yesterday’s reveal of the official worldwide release date some other facts have been let loose.

To start off with, Honoka, Marie Rose and Ayane were featured heavily, showing their official return to the 6th instalment. Adding to this they also revealed that there is also planned DLC characters, that seemingly have been cut specifically to be sold at a later date (or for what you’ll see below too). It isn’t uncommon for fighting games to do this, with as recent as Bandai Namco’s Soul Calibur 6 locking staple character Tira behind their season pass.

The two DLC characters currently revealed are Nyotengu and Phase-4, both previously DLC characters for Dead or Alive 5. They will not be available at launch, however Nyotengu will be able to be obtained through what the industry loves to do nowadays, Pre-order bonuses!

It’s been revealed that you will be able to obtain Nyotengu as a free pre-order bonus if you buy the game physically, along with some other digital goodies, and Phase-4 if you grab the deluxe edition. You can find the details attached:

PlayStation 4 Pre-orders: Comes with a unique Dead or Alive 6 theme as well as “The Female Tengu” Nyotengu as a playable character.

Xbox One Pre-orders: includes Nyotengu as a DLC character as well as a pre-order costume for Ryu Hayabusa.

Digital Bonus: Bonus costume for Kasumi. Those who purchase on Steam by March 14, 2019 will collect the Kasumi costume as well as Nyotengu as a DLC character.

Digital Deluxe Edition: The Digital Deluxe Edition on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam includes a set of 25 extra costumes, 3 bonus musical tracks, a DDX exclusive Kasumi costume, and an additional character, the formidable Kasumi clone, Phase-4.

It’s a shame the game industry goes into these lucrative ways to get you to put your money down for games that haven’t even released yet, but here we are. Aside from these it does seem like Dead or Alive 6 won’t be lacking in characters in the base game, with plenty of characters to choose from to play both offline and online.

Dead or Alive 6 releases worldwide February 15th 2019 for Playstation 4, XBOX One and PC via Steam.
