I expect an announcement later this year, at the earliest E3, probably a bit later at TGS though, and a release next year. Anything else would be dumb and bordering on self-sabotage. Sitting on their hands a complete generation, when DOA5 did so well, when direct competitors like Virtua Fighter completely dropped out of the race and when there's really only Bandai Namco's two 3D fighters, would be crazy. There's free marketshare and attention just up for grabs. By now I really expect DOA6 sometime in 2019 and one year later, in 2020, DOA6 Ultimate on PS5/Xbox2.
