Today, Dead or Alive 6 was released from Koei Tecmo America and Team Ninja. Fighting veterans and newcomers alike are invited to hop into the DOATEC's arenas to battle it out.
The base game retails for $59.99 and is available on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam. There also seems to be a Digital Deluxe Edition that starts at $79.99. This more expensive version includes Phase 4 as a bonus character, a bonus costume for Kasumi, 25 costumes, and 3 extra music tracks. There is also an "early purchase bonus" for those that get the game before April. This allows you to get an alternate Kasumi costume and Nyotengu as an extra character.
But what if you want more?
If you do, you're going to need to spend $92.99 for the "DOA6 Season Pass 1." Oh yes, that's actually the price and yes, I did say that it was Season Pass 1 there, implying there will be more. What does $93 and one season pass get you?
It gets you 62 costumes and only two new characters. But what if you wanted to just get one or two items and not spend $93 to get them?
The Steam page description does note that individual pieces of content that are included in this Season Pass will be sold separately later on. It's just that in the here and now, asking $93 for the first of how ever many season passes is a very tall order indeed.
DEAD OR ALIVE 6 delivers intense fighting entertainment in the form of one-on-one battles inside a variety of exciting, interactive stages including everything from a giant attacking kraken to tenacious pterodactyls. Players can step up their skills through the newly designed Quest mode, built to challenge fighters while also teaching them the necessary survival skills to advance before pushing forward into the most thorough Training mode the franchise has ever seen. Add in online slugfests and a Story mode full of laughter, tears, and monumental character moments true to the franchise, and DEAD OR ALIVE 6 is ready to rock even the most faithful fighting fan to their core.

Just like DOA5, i can't believe its receiving negative reviews on Steam from people complaining purely about cosmetics, baring in mind the base game comes with a variety of unlockable outfits.
