Koei Tecmo has unveiled a new trailer for the romance game Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM, expanding on the beloved Team Ninja fighting game series. This eagerly anticipated title is currently in development for PS5, PS4, and PC, with a scheduled release date of March 27. Fans in Asia can look forward to a special "global version" that includes English text, broadening its accessibility.
In Venus Vacation PRISM, players can indulge in a variety of mini-games, alter character personas, and soak up the tropical island ambiance. The developers have promised numerous opportunities to forge relationships with the heroines and dive deep into the romantic narrative, offering a fresh and immersive gaming experience while preserving the distinctive style of the Dead or Alive franchise.
This title represents an exciting experiment for fans of the series, diverging from the traditional fighting game formula while maintaining the essence that makes Dead or Alive unique. However, not all fan creations are welcomed by the developers. Koei Tecmo annually takes down between 200 and 300 doujinshi, as well as 2,000 to 3,000 images featuring the fighting game characters in unauthorized contexts.
For those unfamiliar, Dead or Alive is a renowned fighting game series celebrated for its engaging gameplay and its charming heroines, who are often depicted in swimwear during battles. While this has inspired fans to create "adult" content featuring their favorite characters, the developers have expressed their disapproval of this trend, striving to maintain the integrity of their intellectual property.
