Koei Tecmo unveils a new trailer for Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM, a romance game spin-off from their popular fighting game franchise.
Launching March 27th on PS5, PS4, and PC, the game features a "global version" with English text support for Asian markets. Players can engage in mini-games, customize character appearances, and enjoy a vibrant tropical island setting. The developers promise numerous avenues for building relationships with the heroines and a deeply immersive romantic storyline.
Venus Vacation PRISM represents a departure for Dead or Alive fans, offering a fresh gaming experience while retaining the series' distinctive style.
However, even this venture highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing fan creativity with IP protection. Koei Tecmo annually removes hundreds of doujinshi and thousands of images depicting the game's characters in fan-created "adult" content, despite the series' popularity and the affectionate fan art it inspires. The Dead or Alive franchise, known for its gameplay and attractive female characters often depicted in swimwear, continues to grapple with the considerable volume of unofficial adult fan content.
