Dead or Alive 6 Adds Newcomer Diego, Returning Fighter Rig

Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja have confirmed the latest fighters coming with Dead or Alive 6.

The game will see Rig as a returning playable character, alongside the newcomer Diego. This means the currently confirmed roster includes: Diego, Helena Douglas, Hayate, Kasumi, Jann Lee, Rig, Ryu Hayabusa, and Zack.


Here’s a brief rundown on each character, via IGN:

  • Diego
    A street-fighting brawler who grew up in the back alleys of New York, newcomer Diego brings a range of hard-hitting moves including headbutts and tackles when he makes his Dead or Alive debut. Diego started entering street matches to win money to support his ailing mother, and quickly became known as New York’s “uncrowned street hero.” With a talent for fighting in confined quarters, his anything-goes full-body-contact move-set is visceral and raw. See his reveal trailer above.
  • Rig
    Returning from Dead or Alive 5 is antagonist and taekwondo master Rig. As before, the former oil-platform worker uses a variety of kick-based attacks, but in Dead or Alive 6 his style has evolved to incorporate more dynamic and acrobatic moves as well. Rig can be seen in the new trailer challenging Diego to fight, bringing him in to the Dead or Alive ring for the first time.

Here’s a new trailer introducing Diego, as well as a match between Diego and Rig:

Dead or Alive 6 is launching for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One sometime in early 2019.
