The latest Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM trailer features romance and tropical setting

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 special Asian "global version" with English text support. Players can engage in mini-games, customize character appearances, and bask in the tropical island setting. Developers promise diverse relationship-building mechanics and a captivating romantic narrative.

Venus Vacation PRISM aims to provide a fresh experience for Dead or Alive fans, offering a departure from the core fighting game while retaining the series' distinctive style.

However, even this venture faces limitations, as highlighted by the ongoing battle against fan-created content. Koei Tecmo annually removes approximately 200-300 doujinshi and 2,000-3,000 images depicting the game's characters in unofficial "adult" content. While acknowledging fan art appreciation, the developers actively combat this trend, despite the Dead or Alive series' reputation for its attractive female characters often depicted in swimwear during combat.
