Dead or Alive is well known in the gaming community for being that guilty pleasure that feels no guilt about what it is. The buxom women were placed just as prominently in the features as the combat mechanics, and it was hardly surprising that a volleyball game with plenty of minigames dedicated to the male gaze was created.
It’s also hardly surprising that there will be two new sequels: Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune for the PS4 and Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Venus for the Vita will release on March 25. Fortune will release for 9,504 yen and have a collector’s edition for 14,904. Venus will be 8,424 yen and a have a collector’s edition for 13,824 yen.
So far, the released roster is Marie Rose, Honoka, Kasumi, Ayane, Kokoro, Nyotengu, Hitomi, Momiji, and Helena.
With the popularity of the franchise in the West, it’s probable that we’ll see an American release, so brush off those explanations of why you’re playing it because of the really compelling volleyball mechanics.
