The latest Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM trailer features romance and tropical setting

Koei Tecmo unveils a new trailer for Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation PRISM, a romance game spin-off of their popular fighting game franchise. Launching March 27th on PS5, PS4, and PC, a special Asian "global version" will feature English text support.

The game promises a tropical island setting with mini-games, character customization, and extensive relationship-building mechanics within a romantic storyline. Venus Vacation PRISM aims to provide a fresh experience for Dead or Alive fans, while retaining the series' signature style.

However, even this new venture highlights the ongoing challenge of fan-made content. Koei Tecmo annually removes hundreds of doujinshi and thousands of images featuring the game's characters, a testament to the popularity—and the sometimes unwelcome nature—of fan-created "adult" material. The Dead or Alive series, known for its fighting gameplay and attractive female characters often depicted in swimwear, continues to grapple with the balance between appreciating fan art and managing the creation of unauthorized adult content.
