Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet confirmed to not be receiving a western release + more details!

As was probably expected, Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet has been officially confirmed (by South East Asia distributor Active Boeki) to remain exclusive to Asian territories. Considering the original Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 for PS4 was planned to come out west back in 2016 but KOEI Tecmo backed down soon after a controversy happened over the under-dressed ladies flaunting around on New Zack Island.

However we have some good news with this. Active Boeki have also confirmed that English will be a fully supported language for the game along with Chinese and Japanese. So feel free to import the Switch or PS4 edition without much hassle from the likes of Play-Asia or Amazon.co.jp. Due to the region free nature of both consoles you’ll have no problems at all enjoying them.

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet will be releasing on March 20th for Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch, with the Switch receiving a free-to-play version later on in the year. Also keep in mind that the PS4 version will be censored, even though it’s an Asian release only.

What are your thoughts on Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet skipping a Western release? Are you glad English will at least be a supported language? Let us know in those comments!

Back when Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet was first announced, KOEI Tecmo Japan teased that there would be two new characters coming to the game, with the first being Misaki from the free-to-play Venus Vacation. Now the second new character is confirmed and is veteran fighter Leifang, getting her tan on at the beaches of New Zack Island.

You can check her out in the trailer below:

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet will be releasing March 20th in Japan on Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch. With both systems being region free and – still yet to be fully confirmed – the hopeful English support in the Asian release, you can import your own copy of the game. Though keep in mind the PS4 version will be censored while the Switch version will remain untouched.

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet will also be receiving a free-to-play version later in the year for Nintendo Switch.

Are you glad to see Leifang make a return to the series? Will you import the game in March? Let us know in those comments!

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.

Are you okay with this title receiving a delay? Are you hyped to pick up the game in March? Let us know in those comments!

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.
