One of the biggest updates for Team Ninja's fighter, Dead or Alive 5, is out now for PlayStation 3, and is expected to arrive on Xbox 360 next week. Apart from numerous gameplay changes, the patch adds in a new level, and three DLC costume packs dubbed, "Hotties Swimwear Packs."
Tecmo Koei released some new information about the new level, and costume packs, which you can check out below:
Zack Island
- This fresh new stage is set on a lush tropical island with clear blue sea and white sandy beaches-the perfect place to escape winter doldrums.
- Battles take place on a large beach and can carry into the waves of the neighboring sea.
- The sea water is a "slip zone" where characters are more vulnerable to lower body attacks, which can stagger opponents.
- Now players can enjoy seaside battles with new moves such as Bayman's Death Punisher.
- Tropical items such as coconuts can fall from trees when shaken or hit during battles, so watch out for falling objects.
General Updates in 1.03
- Combat balance adjustments and new fighting moves.
- Online gameplay adjustments and improvements.
- Updated content and movie upload functions.
- General updates based on player feedback.
Island-themed Swimsuit Packs
- Swimwear Pack 1 features 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.
