Today at Evo Japan 2019, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja started revealing the contents for Dead or Alive 6‘s Season Pass 1, which will be launching alongside the game. The Season Pass will include two characters from SNK’s The King of Fighters XIV, including the beautiful kunoichi Mai Shiranui. The second KOF XIV character’s identity will be revealed at a later date.
Moreover, a new time-limited trial version for Dead or Alive 6 was announced. Unlike the usual “Core Fighters” trial versions, this will let players try out all of the game’s characters, except for Nyotengu, who is available in pre-order copies, and Phase 4, available in the digital deluxe edition, for a total of 24 characters. This trial will only be available for a few hours: From February 23 to 24, and only on PS4 and Xbox One, probably because potential hackers and data miners could do potentially illegal things with a PC trial. The trial will include the beginning of Story Mode, all 4 Training Modes, and Online Mode.
Mai Shiranui already made a playable appearance in Dead or Alive 5: Last Round through one of the many DLCs the game got.
The first Season Pass will also include new costumes for NiCO and Nyotengu and a wedding dress and tuxedo for all characters in the game. Mai Shiranui and the other KOF XIV character will also have 5 unique costumes. Screenshots of the costumes can be found in the gallery below.
New details on the Dead or Alive 6 World Championship were revealed as well, the tournament will have a 10 million Yen cash prize, which is around 100K $, and the Grand Final will be held in Japan.
The latest revealed character before Mai was Raidou, and the previous trailer explained the new mechanics found in Dead or Alive 6.
Dead or Alive 6 was slightly delayed from its initially scheduled February release, and will now launch on March 1. The game will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
