Dead or Alive 5 Title Update, New DLC

Team Ninja today 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 new swimsuit collections to take full advantage of the new Zack Island tropical island setting. The 1.03 update is available now on PlayStation 3 and will be available for Xbox 360 on January 29.

Zack Island

• This 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

• 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), while all three packs may be purchased in a bundle for $12.99 (1040 Microsoft Points).
