“The Dead or Alive 5 cover showcases our dynamic cast of the world’s best martial arts fighters including Ayane, Hayabusa, Hitomi, Christie, Rig, Tina, and for the first time, Akira from Virtua Fighter,” said Amos Ip, SVP and General Manager of Tecmo Koei America. “As ‘DOA Day’ draws near, we want to show the fans that have made Dead or Alive one of the greatest, most intense fighting series what they can look forward to playing on September 25th.”
