Hot Zone

Unreleased Hot Zone is a new fighting stage set to be included in the up-coming title, Dead or Alive 5. It was first introduced in a gameplay trailer released in April 2012.

Description
Hot Zone is a one-level, square-shaped stage set in a war zone within a modern city. Notable elements of the stage include partly-destroyed buildings, tanks, sandbags, and barbed wire. The overall color scheme is pale and muted, due to the bright sunlight and the dust flying about in the air.

Another notable element are the number of people on the sidelines of the stage. Some are combat troops from a unknown army, and the others are a group of terrorists or rebels fighting against the army. While these people cannot directly interact with the fighters, players will be able to hear them shouting at the characters to get out of the area.

The stage is roughly rectangular in shape, with a wall of sandbags splitting in half. It is easy for fighters to jump over the sandbags, but first the barbed wire running along the top of this temporary wall must be destroyed by having one of the fighters crash against it.

Currently, there are two known Danger Zones. The first is triggered when a fighter is thrown into a unstable shelter located in the first half of the stage, where the fight begins. When the attacked fighter is thrown against it, a missile will come from the opposite direction and blow up when in impacts with the fighter, causing additional damage.

The second is in the latter half of the stage. A army aircraft will crash to the ground, and when fighters are thrown against it, it will explode and cause more damage.
