Ayane, Marie Rose, Honoka, and Bayman Return for Dead or Alive 6

Koei Tecmo has kicked off Tokyo Game Show 2018 with exciting new details for Dead or Alive 6. During the event, four returning characters were revealed for the game’s roster. Alongside the announcement came details for each of the four combatants and a new batch of images.

Check out the official character breakdowns for Ayane, Marie Rose, Honoka, and Bayman below.

Ayane

First fighter returning to the fray is Ayane. Ordered to hunt down her half-sister, Kasumi, Ayane’s Mugen Tenshin Hajinmon style of Ninjutsu is as fierce as it gets. Dubbed “The Killer Kunoichi,” Ayane’s ever-changing moves are polished to the point that her opponents have a hard time seeing what is coming next. Forced to live in the shadows, she attempts to fight through her conflicted feelings toward her half-sister, while also fighting her way to the top of the tournament.

Marie Rose

The second combatant marking her return is Swedish martial artist, Marie Rose. Marie, known as “The Wicked Lil’ Servant,” boasts a Russian military style emphasizing the constant fluidity of movement, enabling the fighter to utilize her small frame to her advantage, outmaneuvering enemies with a variety of tricky moves while turning her opponent’s attacks against them.

Honoka

Next up is the “Super-Secret Fighter Chick” known as Honoka. This 18-year-old fan of professional wrestling and martial arts movies invented her own fighting style known as Honoka Fu; an art where she combines her favorite moves from fighters she has observed. While in her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance, she is imbued with unbelievable strength, making her capable of delivering attacks the likes even she has never seen before as her right hand emits a mysterious glow.

Bayman

The final fighter re-entering the arena is the former professional assassin, Bayman. Known as “The Man Who Overcame Death,” Bayman stands inside the ring with the same kind of coldhearted professionalism that made him such a successful mercenary thanks to his devastatingly-dangerous skills in Combat Sambo.

In addition to revealing the above combatants, Koei Tecmo also showed off a new stage, Lost Paradise. It, too, received special attention with a gorgeous screenshot and official details breaking down its place in Dead or Alive 6.

Lost Paradise (Stage)

The magnificent jungle is mixed with the decaying remains of man-made constructions, with some surprising secrets popping out of all corners. Collide with the extremely large eggs and you will not only disturb whatever’s inside but also alert their mother – a giant Pteranodon who will swoop in for the attack. But that’s not the only danger lurking, as the fence separating the fighters from the jungle is sparked with electricity. Fall to the bottom level and a Tyrannosaurus awaits, ready to rip into anyone within biting distance.

Fans can get their hands on what’s new in the franchise when Dead or Alive 6 launches early next year on February 15, 2019.
