After the release of DOA6, a smaller team was developing DOA7 and making minor changes for DOA6'. The higher ups decided to disband the team and cancel the project just before Shinbori-san resigned.
DOA6's internal evaluation was given 69.9 points. At Koei Tecmo Games, your project must have 70 points or more to get approval for the release. Due to this, the release date was postponed by about one month.
