Dead or Alive 6<\/em> <\/a>continues to push towards its dubious goal of becoming the most expensive fighting game of all time, as today sees the launch of a fourth<\/em> season pass – this one costing $89.99 – and bringing with it 50 more costumes and other incoming content for the so-so title.<\/p> This is just the latest in a run of season passes to hit Team Ninja’s flagship fighter since its release back in March 2019. Since launch, over $340 in passes<\/a> have been released for Dead or Alive 6<\/em>, not including the game’s physical edition asking price or any DLC that falls outside of the season pass parameters. That’s the best part of $400 in less than 12 months<\/em>.<\/p> It should also be noted that this fourth pass does not include all of the upcoming DLC. A “(Revival) Maid” set, featuring housemaid outfits for the DoA 6<\/em> women’s roster, also launches today at a separate price of $19.99. Before you ask, yes, they’re the same<\/em> maid outfits<\/a> that were previously available in Dead or Alive 5<\/em>. So that’s over $100 worth of DLC – not even all-new DLC – launching in one day.<\/p> <\/iframe> At the risk of sounding like a broken record… I’m not your dad. You’ve earned your money and can spend it on whatever you want. I’m not judging anyone for that. I just personally think it’s sad to experience this transition that has seen Dead or Alive<\/em> – which was a great fighter in its own right – become little more than the engine that pulls the DLC train. A thinly-veiled shopping cart shaped like a once-standout fighting franchise.<\/p>
On a more positive note, season four’s wardrobe will include a selection of costumes designed by some DoA<\/em> devotees. The “Design Contest 2019 Set”<\/a> will feature several outfits for fighters Mila, Bass, Kasumi, and Honoka as designed by the winners of a competition held last year by Team Ninja. Now that<\/em> I can dig. Similar to the time SNK’s King of Fighters<\/em> created a brand new character<\/a> following its own fan contest.<\/p>
