« New Dead or Alive 6 trailer reveals Feb. 15, 2019 release, free to play version announced, various editions and pre-order rewards offered »

The new iteration of Team Ninja's staple fighting game series has a release date.

Dead or Alive 6 now has a worldwide release date of Feb. 15, 2019, for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC through Steam. A trailer, found below, has been made as part of the release date announcement to show off various gameplay and story beats.

DOA6 was revealed back in early June 2018 in preparation for E3 2018. This release date trailer was made prior to its coming showing at this year's Tokyo Game Show.

According to 4Gamer, there are also plans to release DOA6 as a free-to-play variant, similar to Dead or Alive 5 Core Fighters, in the future.

In North America, there are multiple preorder rewards. Players can get Nyotengu for those who preorder on either PS4 or XB1. Steam users who get DOA6 before the March 14, 2019, deadline can also get Nyotengu. A digital deluxe edition will provide 25 extra outfits for the cast of characters, extra music tracks and access to character Phase 4.

For Japanese users, they get a physical collectors edition which features the soundtrack and booklet. There is also the "Strongest Package" which features contents from the Collectors Edition plus some very suggestive pillow sheets of Kasume and Ayane and mouse pads of Marie Rose, Honoka and a new unannounced character.
