Koei Tecmo unveils a new trailer for Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM, a romance game spin-off of 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 bask in the tropical island setting. Developers highlight numerous avenues for building relationships with the heroines and experiencing a compelling romantic narrative.
Venus Vacation PRISM promises a unique experience for Dead or Alive fans, offering a departure from the core fighting game while retaining the series' distinctive aesthetic.
However, even this venture has its limitations, as evidenced by Koei Tecmo's ongoing efforts to combat fan-made content. Annually, the publisher removes approximately 200-300 doujinshi and 2,000-3,000 images depicting the game's characters.
The Dead or Alive series is known for its gameplay and its attractive female characters, often depicted in swimwear during combat. This naturally leads to significant fan-created "adult" content, a trend the developers actively counter despite their appreciation for fan art.
