Also announced for Japan is a special edition of the latest entry in the 3D fighting franchise. TheDead or Alive 6 Strongest Editionwill include a copy of the game, five “bathroom posters” (designed to be hung in humid conditions without getting damaged), an artbook, the game’s soundtrack, a set of pins and three of those padded T&A mousepads.
Of note, two of the three mousepads feature Marie-Rose and Honoka, whilst the third will feature a brand new female character, who is headed toward theDoA 6roster. Rememberwhen they said they were toning down the gratuitous sexualitythis time? Regardless, theStrongest Edition, currently only announced for Japan, is expected to cost a whopping ¥25,800, or roughly $230, so bear that in mind if you’re planning to import.
Globally, pre-ordering various editions of the game will bag you extra DLC characters, because this is unfortunately how fighting games work now.
