New Details for Dead or Alive 6 for Ayane, Marie Rose, Honoka, Bayman, Plus New Lost Paradise Stage

Koei Tecmo have officially announced details on several returning fighters and a new stage.

Ayane, Marie Rose, Honoka, and Bayman are all returning to the series from past games. A new stage dubbed “Lost Paradise” has also been shown.

Judging by the Z emblem on the ruined four-by-fours, the remnants of a golden statue, and Zack getting the brunt of the stage hazards in the screenshots, this stage could be another “Zack Island” of Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball fame. Though here it seems to have fallen into ruin, Jurassic Park style.

The characters and new stage were seen in the recent release date trailer, but now we have more information and screenshots to share with you.

You can find a gallery and full run-down below:

First fighter returning to the fray is Ayane. Ordered to hunt down her half-sister, Kasumi, Ayane’s Mugen Tenshin Hajinmon style of Ninjutsu is as fierce as it gets. Dubbed “The Killer Kunoichi,” Ayane’s ever-changing moves are polished to the point that her opponents have a hard time seeing what is coming next. Forced to live in the shadows, she attempts to fight through her conflicted feelings toward her half-sister, while also fighting her way to the top of the tournament.

The second combatant marking her return is Swedish martial artist, Marie Rose. Marie, known as “The Wicked Lil’ Servant,” boasts a Russian military style emphasizing the constant fluidity of movement, enabling the fighter to utilize her small frame to her advantage, outmaneuvering enemies with a variety of tricky moves while turning her opponent’s attacks against them.

Next up is the “Super-Secret Fighter Chick” known as Honoka. This 18-year-old fan of professional wrestling and martial arts movies invented her own fighting style known as Honoka Fu; an art where she combines her favorite moves from fighters she has observed. While in her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance, she is imbued with unbelievable strength, making her capable of delivering attacks the likes even she has never seen before as her right hand emits a mysterious glow.

The final fighter re-entering the arena is the former professional assassin, Bayman. Known as “The Man Who Overcame Death,” Bayman stands inside the ring with the same kind of coldhearted professionalism that made him such a successful mercenary thanks to his devastatingly-dangerous skills in Combat Sambo.

Also making its debut in Tokyo will be the new stage entitled “LOST PARADISE.” The magnificent jungle is mixed with the decaying remains of man-made constructions, with some surprising secrets popping out of all corners. Collide with the extremely large eggs and you will not only disturb whatever’s inside but also alert their mother – a giant Pteranodon who will swoop in for the attack. But that’s not the only danger lurking, as the fence separating the fighters from the jungle is sparked with electricity. Fall to the bottom level and a Tyrannosaurus awaits, ready to rip into anyone within biting distance.

Here’s the rest of the screenshots:

In other news, the speculated return of the removed jiggle physics has been somewhat seen in recent footage.

Dead or Alive 6 is launching across Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 15th of next year.
