Dead or Alive 6 Release Date Delayed to March

Still alive

by Robert Ramsey Tue 8th Jan 2019

Previously due to release in just over a month on the 15th February, Dead or Alive 6 has been pushed back into March, Koei Tecmo has announced. The anticipated fighting game still hits during a busy period, but developer Team Ninja says that the delay will allow the team to "further enhance and balance" the experience. In other words, it just needs a bit more polish.

Dead or Alive 6 is now expected on the 1st March, 2019.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

For it to be a little better quality is good.

Probably adding more jiggle physics... er, um, probably adding more balance to the fighting and polish. Yeah, that’s it. On a more serious note, I don’t mind the delay actually.

It did get out of a busy period, but now it releases closer to DMC5. Not sure if that's any better.

I'm looking forward to both, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with DMC.

@DerMeister nah, Two different Genres I doubt they're worried about being swamped by DMC5. Besides, this game is pretty niche already, the only ones buying the game are pretty much the ones keeping a close eye on it since the reveal.
