Team Ninja’s Producer Yohei Shimbori has just confirmed that Dead Or Alive 6 will have a F2P release like it’s predecessor, it will only include “Core Fighters” and will release sometime this year. Gamespot reports that a page on the Microsoft Store showed up for a game called Dead Or Alive 6 Core Fighters, but trying to find it it’s impossible as it was taken down.
“First of all, about the listing on the Microsoft Store, that was a mistake from the development team,” Shimbori said in an interview with Siliconera. “We do have plans to make a free-to-play version, but we haven’t announced when it will be available. We can promise it will be out post-launch of the full game. We can’t talk about it yet since we don’t have concrete details about what will be included yet. But, it will be similar to what we had with Dead or Alive 5: Core Fighters.”
Team Ninja hopes that Dead or Alive 6 can be a point of transition for the fighting game series. The developer wants the game to be an esports contender, and also get more people to jump into the franchise. To help with the latter goal, new fighting mechanics have been added to the game to streamline combos and counters for less experienced players. Team Ninja is also trying to tone down on the sexual fan service present throughout the franchise, and deliver a more compelling narrative in the single-player campaign.
Dead Or Alive 6 is releasing for PC, PS4 and Xbox One on March 1st after being delayed Koei Tecmo Producer and Director Yohei Shimbori shared this message to fans:
“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,”
