The Dead or Alive 6 roster continues to grow months after the game's release. Today, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja revealed that there are at least two additional DLC characters coming very soon to the existing roster. "Very soon" means right now in most cases.
Some of you out there may already be familiar with them. They are Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamond from The King of Fighters. Two characters from a different fighting game? Yup! These two are included as part of the Season Pass 1 for Dead or Alive 6.
However, if you don't own that, or want to buy them separately, you can get them for $7.99 (USD). Separate costume packs for each character will be available for $2.99. There is also a special SNK character bundle that includes both fighters and five outfits for each
Let's find out a little bit more about the two characters that are otherwise known as "The Alluring Ninja" and "The Ice Doll." Can you guess which nickname applies to which character? Place your bets now before reading the brief descriptions below and you could win absolutely nothing.
