Alongside the release of this Momiji DLC pack, a new costume pack will be arriving. Known as the “Morphing Ninja Costumes Set”, it includes 26 costumes that allow you to transform by taunting or performing a break bow.

Last week KOEI Tecmo have launched the free-to-play version of Dead or Alive 6. Known as Dead or Alive 6: Core Fighters, much like the 5th version’s iteration, you’ll be able to access a bunch of the game’s modes along with a base roster of playable characters. With this as well you will be able to purchase individually exactly what you want from the fighting game, such as fighters and other modes.

You can read the official information on the game below:

Dead or Alive 6: Core Fighters offers fighting game fans a limited look into the world of Dead or Alive 6, including four base characters—Kasumi, Hitomi, Diego, and Bass—as well as online ranked battles, Versus, Arcade, Time Attack, Training, and Quest modes. In addition, Dead or Alive 6’s introduction to Story mode will be unlocked, along with DOA Central, the hub for everything from wardrobe and music to the library and theater.

More content is planned to release for the game on all platforms, as well as free updates such as upcoming Lobbies for online play. Our review is still in the works (sorry for the delay, but due to the site upgrade and forum development things have slowed to a crawl), but will be available for your viewing pleasure soon.

This is a great way if you are undecided to give the game a solid good go, and the characters available are quite a fun bunch to master. Let’s end this post with a nice launch trailer showcasing the Core Fighters’ experience.

Dead or Alive 6 is out now on Playstation 4, XBOX One and PC via Steam. The free-to-play Core Fighters is also available now on the same platforms.

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet is now just a couple weeks out from it’s launch in Japan (March 20th to be exact), and KOEI Tecmo Japan have now launched a new trailer showcasing the lovely Momiji and Nyotengu, enjoying their time at the beach. You can see the trailer itself below:

It is certainly looking to be a nice upgraded experience compared to it’s 2016 original release.

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet releases March 20th in Japan for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. As usual a reminder that the Asian version of the game offers full English support, so feel free to import it.

Dead or Alive 6 is currently hosting a Release Celebration Campaign within the game!

Right now within the game of Dead or Alive 6, there is a Release Celebration Campaign going on. This means for a limited time you will gain certain bonuses and certain rewards will be easier to collect. Specifically the Campaign focuses on increasing the amount of Costume parts you gain from beating battles in certain modes.

For those of you unaware, Costume Parts are what you need to be able to purchase in-game costumes with fighter money. When you have gathered enough costume parts for said outfit you can then buy it up in the Wardrobe.

As for the Campaign itself, you can read below what it includes:

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 release celebration campaign! Costume pattern parts quantity will be multiplied by 10 until March 14!

Release Celebration Campaign Boost – Rewarded costume parts quantity increased even further (max 100x more!)

The modes included are for RANKED MATCH, ARCADE, TIME ATTACK and SURVIVAL.

This event is going on now and will remain active until March 14th, so if you want the grind for those costumes to be far easier, then get your gaming time in now!

Warrior’s Judgement: Dead or Alive 6 does an Oopsie with it’s first of many Season Passes.

Dead or Alive 6 launched just two days ago, and it has already dived head first in to some incredible controversy. While KOEI Tecmo has yet to dabble in the more nefarious microtransactions or the dreaded lootboxes (we won’t go into that minefield), they have gone deep into mass DLC offerings. Though nothing encapsulates just how bad things are getting than the very first Season Pass for Dead or Alive 6.

The first Season Pass costs £73.99/$92.99, yes almost double the price of the base game itself (even more if you get the game at retail in UK). What do you get for this high price of a Season Pass? Well let’s delve into the details straight from the Steam Page:

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Season Pass 1.
This Season Pass will apply to 62 costumes and 2 new characters released during the period of March 2019 – June 2019.
Note: The release period is subject to change.

■ Season Pass 1 Bonus Content
– DOA6 NiCO Technomancer Gear
– DOA6 Nyotengu Wrestling Costume

■ Featured Content
– DOA6 Happy Wedding Costumes Vol.1 (13 Costumes)
– DOA6 Happy Wedding Costumes Vol.2 (13 Costumes)
– DOA6 Costume Pack Vol.1 (13 Costumes)
– DOA6 Costume Pack Vol.2 (13 Costumes)
– DOA6 Additional Character Mai Shiranui
– DOA6 Mai Shiranui Debut Costumes (5 Costumes)
– DOA6 Additional New Character
– DOA6 Additional New Character Debut Costumes (5 Costumes)

■ Note:
– The downloadable content included in this Season Pass will be release separately on later dates.
– Please visit the official website for more details: https://www.gamecity.ne.jp/doa6/
– Downloadable content not included in the list above may be released during the same period, but it will not be covered by this Season Pass 1.
– All content included in this Season Pass will also be sold separately. Please beware of redundant purchases.
– You must purchase the characters before using these costumes.

So two new characters and a bunch of costumes that are purely of cosmetic nature. To top it all off, none of the content (aside the Season Pass bonus) is even ready to release yet. That is one massive down payment for what leads to be such a lack of content. Even one of the fighters (an unannounced KOF collab) isn’t even known yet.

This has been a stark contrast to just how the industry as a whole has changed and how KOEI Tecmo are trying to squeeze every penny they can out of every piece of content – especially when back in the day all of these would of been simply unlockables by playing the game itself.

Let’s look back at Dead or Alive Ultimate on the original XBOX for example. Every character had 20+ costumes you could unlock by completing certain challenges, playing through story modes and other actions within the game. No added costs, no needing a license to unlock more, just gained through playing the game.

It is a shame also this stigma has to come along with Dead or Alive 6, as we shared in our pre-review impressions, the game itself is fun and filled with quite a lot of content on it’s own. Our full review will hopefully be arriving early in the coming week.
