Wow, that came out of nowhere. Dead or Alive 6 is official, and it's coming to PlayStation 4 "early" next year. You can get a decent eyeful of the game via the trailer that we've embedded above.
Despite its frankly mental downloadable content shenanigans, we were quite fond of Dead or Alive 5, and this next title looks to build on what its predecessor got right. The visuals looks especially clean, and we're loving the extra details like close-ups and blood.
Did you see this one coming? Warm up those combos in the comments section below.

Well that came out of nowhere.
Disappointing lack of beaches, volleyball and boob physics in that trailer.
Nice
Oh! There it is! Lol talk about “surprise!"
Cool but what we really want is Virtua Fighter 6, Sega!
Nice, I hope the dlc isn't as bad as doa 5 though.
Leaving the fan service as DLC I see
Definitely a welcome surprise in my book. I still need to find myself an actual copy of DOA5 though, instead of the free version.
@GKO900 It's cynical but I thought the exact same thing. Bikini DLC packs for years to come.
I heard the fan service will be toned down this time around, but I honestly don’t see that happening. They did that with 5 and was forced to bring it back.
The director said he wants to make this one "mature" and less sexualised, obviously an attempt to get that e-Sports money, based on how Capcom had to censor aspects of SFV for tournaments. Meh, DoA was fun because it was the fighting game series that didn't take itself that seriously.
Looks very serious and violent and self-important now. Bleh.
I'll probably get it at some point, as Dead or Alive is one of the few fighting game series I actually enjoy.
Senran Kagura has the best look to it IMO, anime style and filled with adult stuff.. as is most anime.
@Orpheus79V Totally agree with you without the fan service the game loses its identity it's known for, what would be a Mortal Kombat game without blood and violence
Hope my girl Mila is on the game
Awesome! I suck at fighting games but always enjoy this series.
I dont think the store can handle another 300 dlc costumes sold seperately, and in packs, then in groups, then by person....
In all seriousness though. I buy DOA because it doesnt take itself seriously...
Hype. Always enjoy Dead or Alive games.
Yes, day 1! I LOVE the DOA series, and DOA5 in particular. Very happy about this announcement.
they utterly ruined doa5 with all the mindless dlc content. the psn store is littered with that crap. they couldn't even be bothered to make a complete edition. sorry, i cannot support such backwards business practices and anti-consumer behaviour. my time will go into tekken and soul calibur. bandai namco actually knows what it is doing and puts out all future content for FREE or allows costumes etc. to be unlocked IN-GAME.
Lol if they did DLC with the previous game and have done with DW9 what make you think they won't with this??? I haven't played a DoA game since 2 when it came out on PS2 before it went over to Xbox perm
Cool. Now I just wonder, will we ever see another Ninja Gaiden?
