Dead or Alive 5 – New Island Stage And More
Team Ninja have revealed that the 1.03 update for Dead or Alive 5 contains new content including a free new island stage, gameplay updates and improvements, and three new DLC packs featuring stunning new swimsuit collections to take advantage of the new tropical island setting.
The new stage, Zack Island, is a lush tropical island with a clear blue sea and white sandy beaches. Battles take place on the beach and can carry into the waves of the sea, a ‘slip zone’ where characters are more vulnerable to lower body attacks. Tropical items such as coconuts can fall from trees when shaken or hit during battles, too!
General updates include combat balance adjustments and new fighting moves, online gameplay adjustments, updated content and movie upload functions and general updates based on player feedback. In depth details can be found here.
There are three new swimsuit collections, available as DLC: Hotties Swimwear Pack 1, featuring new swimsuits for Kasumi, Kokoro, Helena and Sarah; Pack 2 features swimwear for Hitomi, Leifang, Mila and Pai; Pack 3 features swimming outfits for Ayane, Christie, Tina and Lisa. Each pack will cost £4.99 / 400 Microsoft Points, or all three can be bought in a money-saving bundle for £12.99 / 1040 Microsoft Points.
The 1.03 update is available now for the PlayStation, and due on the 29th January for Xbox 360.
