"Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM Trailer Unveils Romance in Tropical Setting"

Koei Tecmo has unveiled a fresh trailer for the eagerly awaited romance game, Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM, which expands on the renowned Team Ninja fighting game series. This exciting new title is currently in development for PS5, PS4, and PC, with a slated release date of March 27. Fans in Asia can look forward to a special "global version" that includes English text support, broadening the game's accessibility.

In Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM, players can immerse themselves in a tropical island setting, engaging in various mini-games, switching character personas, and forging deep relationships with the game's heroines. The developers promise a rich, romantic narrative that fully engages players, offering a novel experience while preserving the distinctive flair of the Dead or Alive franchise. This game represents an innovative shift for fans, blending romance with the series' traditional elements.

However, even as the franchise explores new genres, it continues to face challenges with fan-created content. Koei Tecmo annually removes between 200-300 doujinshi and 2,000-3,000 images of characters from the Dead or Alive fighting game series. Known for its engaging gameplay and iconic heroines often depicted in swimwear, the series attracts a lot of fan art, including adult content. Despite the affection fans have for these creations, the developers are firmly against this trend, aiming to maintain the integrity and intended image of their characters.
