Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order and
NiOh 2 are not the only projects Team Ninja is currently developing, as the critically acclaimed
Dead or Alive fighting franchise will return in its sixth entry on the 1st of March for PS4, XO, and Steam. Yes, Koei Tecmo has decided to push the title back from its previously planned February 15 worldwide release date to avoid the month's bloodbath.
“
The title’s development is already near complete; however, we would like to take more time to further polish its balance, gameplay, and expressivity,”
DoA6 Director Yohei Shimbori said in a press release. “
In return for your patience, we commit to bringing you the best Dead or Alive gaming experience. I am truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the release delay of Dead or Alive 6.”
Koei has also released a fresh trailer for
Dead or Alive 6 that gives us a closer look at the game's battle system, modes and many other features upon its release. This new game is running on a different engine (that appears to be quite powerful) embracing a more realistic art-style without considerably departing from its "
anime style". Be sure to check out the "
Combat and Features" trailer below:
