Koei Tecmo has unveiled a captivating new trailer for Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM, an upcoming romance game that expands on the beloved Team Ninja fighting game series. Set to launch on March 27, the game will be available on PS5, PS4, and PC, with a special "global version" tailored for Asian markets that includes English text support.
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 game's heroines and fully engage in a rich, romantic narrative. This title represents a bold experiment for fans of the Dead or Alive series, offering a fresh gaming experience while preserving the franchise's distinctive style.
However, even the most innovative projects have their boundaries, as evidenced by Koei Tecmo's ongoing efforts to combat unauthorized fan content. Annually, the publisher diligently removes between 200 and 300 doujinshi, as well as 2,000 to 3,000 images featuring characters from their fighting game series. Dead or Alive, known for its engaging gameplay and iconic heroines often depicted in swimwear, has a dedicated fanbase that frequently creates "adult" content. Despite appreciating fan art, the developers are firm in their stance against this particular trend.
