Recently, on their official Twitter, Koei Tecmo Europe addressed the recent controversy regarding the latest entry in the Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball spinoff series, Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, with an official statement.

Quite honestly, it really doesn’t explain much nor addresses the statement by the Community Manager at Team Ninja on their Facebook page. As for the sales numbers, contrary to what some say, numbers show the series does well enough, if not better here, so the doubt still lingers there.

Both Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune and Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Venus will arrive on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, respectively in Japan and Asia on February 25 of next year. If you’re interested in importing the game with English subtitles, you can still pre-order the PS4 or Vita versions at Play-Asia.com.
