## Gameplay

The Power Blow and Power Launcher from the previous game have been removed. New is the Break Gauge which sits under the life bar, starting the first round half-full. It can be used in various ways with the  button (or ):

* Fatal Rush (): A chain of up to four high strikes that will put the opponent into a Fatal Stun. If the meter is full, the combo will finish with a Break Blow. Some characters have special follow ups from fatal rushes, such as being able to feint into stances, or even cancelling into standard attacks.
* Side Attack ( while  or ): A quick attack that can be done while side-stepping. Requires 25% of the meter as of version 1.05.
* Break Hold (): A hold that can be used against any type of strike: high, mid, or low. Requires half of the meter.
* Break Blow (): A powerful strike that goes through the opponent's attack. Requires a full meter. Can also be cancelled into a Break Blow cancel by pressing H upon successful hit, which allows the player to use the fatal stun status to pursue more combo damage.

The game retains the 4-point hold system which has been standard since *Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate*, while including the option for a 3-point hold as in *Dead or Alive 2*, *Dead or Alive 3*, and *Dead or Alive Dimensions*. The system in use will always be displayed under the timer.

The juggle Ground Bounce system is also enhanced for the game, allowing players to bound their opponent on the ground for a finisher, with different inputs depending on character. All characters have an attack that does increased damage if done up close to a prone opponent.

## Development and release

Team Ninja began full-time development on *Dead or Alive 6* in December 2017[2] and publicly revealed it in June 2018.[3] The game is using a new graphics engine, which in its July update was revised with the help from Sega's internal and well known studio, Sega AM2 who also developed its prequel, *Dead or Alive 5* .[4] The studio announced they sought to slightly tone down the sexualized portrayal of female characters and focused on being an esports title.[5][6] A single-player campaign, which was described as "cohesive" by director and producer Yohei Shimbori, was developed so that the game can appeal to both casual gamers and the Western audience.[7] Tag team mode of the previous games isn't featured due to the team focusing all its resources on one vs one modes.[8]

Shimbori later denied that the game has been censored due to the new Sony standards against sexual content in PlayStation games and promised it would be at the *DOA5* standards, claiming to having been repeatedly misunderstood or mistranslated on the issue.[9][10] He also cited the unfavorable perception of the previous games by "some media outlets" as a reason for the changes and blamed the reduction of female clothing damage on otherwise being unable to distribute the game in the Western stores,[11] stating he has been trying to avoid the repetition of the situation with *Dead or Alive Xtreme 3* where they could not sell it in Europe and North America.[12] Nevertheless, an Evo Japan 2019 official stream, featuring gravure idols Yuka Kuramochi and Saki Yoshida, was shut down and apologized for by the Evolution Championship Series president Joey Cuellar and head of business development Mark Julio citing "core values".[13][14][15]

An open beta version was made available between January 12–14 for the PlayStation Plus subscribers.[16] A new demo has been exclusive to PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold members between February 22–24.[17]

*Dead or Alive 6* was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 1, 2019,[18] delayed two weeks from the original release date of February 15.[19]Limited edition items in Japan include life-size bed sheets of Ayane and Kasumi, a bath poster of Ayane and Kasumi, and bust and buttocks shaped 3D mousepads of Honoka and Marie Rose.[20] The in-game Nyotengu and Phase 4 characters have been included in pre-order and deluxe edition bonuses, along with exclusive costumes.[21]

Similar to *Dead or Alive 5*, *Dead or Alive 6* also has a "Core Fighters" free-to-play version,[22] which was made available two week later on March 15.[23] An arcade version was announced in late 2018[24] and was released on July 18, 2019, running on the Sega ALLS arcade board.[25]

The first downloadable content (DLC) season pass, costing more than the base game, adds two additional characters as well as 62 new costumes.[26][27] Rachel also returns as DLC, released in December, 2019.[28]

In April 2020, after only a year, *Dead or Alive 6* stopped getting content updates with no clear indication why. While the vanilla version of *Dead or Alive 5* also had support for less than a year, it was followed quickly by the Ultimate and Last Round versions, while in *Dead or Alive 6*'s case there has not been any indication of something like this, and after Shimbori's exit from Team Ninja the situation about the game is unclear. All of this also happened shortly after the game on Playstation 4 getting a paid DLC to change the characters' hair colors, but only once at a time, something which received backlash from a lot of people, including non-fans.

## Reception

According to review aggregator Metacritic, *Dead or Alive 6* has received "mixed or average" reviews for the Windows and PlayStation 4 version, and received "generally favorable" reviews for the Xbox One version.[29][30][31]

IGN's Mike Epstein said: "*DoA 6* proves there's plenty of depth to this fighter beneath its skimpy outfits, but its story mode is disjointed and its multiplayer features are currently bare."[32] GameSpot's Heidi Kemps said, "despite some missteps, *DoA6* is a fun, engaging fighter with great-feeling, easy-to-pick-up combat, a strong sense of visual style, and a lot of personality. If you're looking for a new fighting game to learn the ins and outs of--or perhaps a nice entry into the 3D side of fighting games--*DoA6* is a fighter of choice."[33]

In a mixed review, *Game Informer* said t
