DOA6 TGS Day 1 - Team NINJA Demonstration


Yohei Shimbori, Director of Dead or Alive 6, was on stage for 45 minutes to show off an updated version of DOA6 to launch Team NINJA's TGS Schedule.

We enjoyed some hands on gameplay of the new characters announced in the release date trailer. Ayane, Marie Rose, Honoka and Bayman have all been shown, and their entries have been added to the official Dead or Alive 6 website. The website is a good compilation of what Team NINJA has announced so far and offers hints and clues to the direction of the game from story mode, character biographies and features.

The demonstration confirmed that the Lost Paradise stage is indeed the DOAX2 version of Zack Island, now inhabited by dinosaurs. As mentioned in our reveal story, this level will have plenty of destructible environments, multiple tiers and colorful design. You might notice Zack's statue in the rubble, or the broken up slide scattered throughout the stage. Now we all know why the slide of doom didn't make it to DOAX3!

Shimbori did a great job of showing us some of the new features during his gameplay tutorial. The main menu now has a randomly cycled character, similar to Overwatch. Some players are hoping that you will be able to select your main character for this feature in an outfit of your choosing.

The graphics have been polished considerably since the Gamescom build. All of the characters look better, and the new adjustable camera after the match shows both characters that fought. This new setup will make the camera functionality a more enjoyable tool.

Team NINJA has a lot more planned than just this particular demonstration. They will be hosting an exhibition with Shimbori the following day, and there will be a special tournament and trailer to close the show as mentioned in our previous article. Enable notifications for Team NINJA's streams and enjoy the show this week!
