Dead or Alive 6

Dead or Alive 6 (also known as DOA6) is the sixth main versus-fighting installment in the Dead or Alive franchise. It was announced on June 8th 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC to be released on February 15th, 2019. It also planned to be in Arcade too.

Running on a new engine for the eighth generation of consoles, new features include visible damage on the fighters during the course of the fight.
