So Momiji with alts + debut costume dlc + Ninja costume pack on the 19th

The transforming Ninja outfits just turning gold is disappointing considering DoA5 had actual transforming outfits


Ayane and Kasumi get their DoA5LR preorder Ninja outfits. In the case of Kasumi that one really should have just been her DoA6 default instead of the new one she got

Pretty much confirms Rachel as well I would say. With something Rachel related datamined, Momiji confirmed and Momiji in particular being released as a Ninja Gaiden anniversary celebration

Very excited for Thursday. Momiji is a personal fave and I happen to like how characters like Christie and Helena look as ninjas, so this is awesome for me.

I wish we got the forest stage back. Best stage of all time. Maybe the cool DOA2 stage with the stained glass would be nice too.

They resell us an old character, with her old costumes and the DLC ninja costumes are also resold, old costumes. :/ They are not even trying anymore.

They announced a costume design contest though, I might particpate again in there. :)

Yeah, the lack of variety in the costumes has been very disappointing for sure. If the inevitable Halloween costume pack is just four costumes recolored between everyone, then man, they've really given up.

Repost but I don't care, gaming side doesn't really count anyway. Just as I said, for all their crappy excuses for not including her in the base roster, they just wanted to be able to sell her back to people.

Her Break Blow is just as boring as the ones they made the majority of them, and is much too similar to Ayane's.

And yes, those ninja outfits just turning gold for their transformations instead of actually switching to completely different costumes is also lame.

Only Ayane and Misty and Honkers and Helena and Kokoro should get gold. The 3 sisters are princesses and the Douglass sisters are American Nobility

I'm happy with this. I absolutely adore Ninja Gaiden.

Kind of weird how they celebrate the 15th anniversary of Ninja Gaiden in this trailer. I guess they're going off the reboot. The series as a whole is 31 now.

Costumes might be on the weak side, but looking back on DOA5's dlc recently I've got to say new characters were the only interesting things. That and the casual costumes.

Looks like most of their creative energy in Nioh 2 right now.

S3 announced at the Online WC tournament

Rachel probably revealed at the DoA Fes then

If someone can read Japanese, here is the full upcoming content chart

Japan also getting the ticket system. Guess they will add it to all regions and platforms as it probably makes adding stuff easier for them


also this if someone could translate

I read on fsd there will be more classic costumes added in batches via updates. Not season pass, like the recent hayabusa and mila costumes.

With Rachel being the final waifu to be added unless this joke company resorts to selling VV characters next, hopefully they'll finally bring back Leon after so i can actually start giving a fuck about this game

Is the DOA4 OST in this yet? I haven't played it since launch but the heavy emphasis on DLC has turned me off a bit. Shame because the actual fighting gameplay seems to be the best.

I swear to god if they just release a deluge of women-only fetish packs after that whole rigamarole about wanting to be "cool" and taken seriously, I'm dropping the game.

I'm still not expecting them to sell any male characters outside of an update that includes them with a new version of the base game.

There are still people who believe that hogwash of theirs? Even after how the game was marketed in Japan? Even after the "core values" fiasco?

Nothing at all is surprising about where their priorities will be with DLC outfits.

With how they are specifically making costume packs outside of the Season pass that are old costumes from 5 brought back to resell them to people, there really should be a way to get the costumes for free if you bought them in 5..

DoA6 really just feels like a game that exists to get the dlc train going and not because they wanted to make a quality DoA6. Its either really low effort new costumes or just selling you old dlc again. This wouldn't be a problem if the game already had a large amount of costumes per character because they made good use of all those costumes and assets made for 5 over the years but that unfortunately is not the case.

Its a shame because the gameplay in 6 is good. But I find everything else to be lacking compared to previous entries. Oh well.

I'm pretty sure that's in already. You just need to unlock it (through DOA Quest I believe).

So we get a season pass AND an extra 64 outfits returning from DOA5LR? That's cool. I REALLY hope the Halloween costumes are unique to the characters but I feel that's probably not the case.

The outfits are decent for the roster and I like the intros when they taunt or make a remark about the opponent.

One day they will patch in something as basic as spotify integration on ps4..

Makes no sense its still not in. They patched it into the first Nioh and it was even in the Alpha for Nioh2

No trailer yet for the season pass. Fingers crossed for Halloween costumes that aren't just 3 variations of the same costume spread across the roster.

They arent bad looking costumes at least, but the copy and paste sure is tiring.

Bothers me a little less since I only ever buy for 3 characters

I love the witch costumes but I miss the unique costumes they did for DOA5LR. The exclusive costumes for the season pass are just palette swaps of other costumes for Kasumi and Ayane though so that's bad because that sucks but also good because now I won't feel bad for skipping this season pass and just cherry picking my faves.

I like them. Most of the DOA5 costumes were copy-pasted, I'm sure we'll get "designed" ones later too.
What is pretty terrible is the season pass exclusive costumes though, like the previous one, there's no reason to get it over getting some packs separately.

So now that Season Pass 3 is up, we know the next two releases of 16 costumes each are going to be 32 costumes in the same style, like the Wedding outfits were. Not sure what it'll be, but at least fans looking for guy costumes will get something.

I'm thinking either the the two remaining Season Pass releases or the two remaining Revival sets are going to be Christmas/Santa outfits we saw in DOA5LR. Leaning toward the Revival sets for that, but who knows.

I hope Rachel comes soon. Likely end of November. Was really hoping we'd get Haunted Lorelei back for Halloween but oh well. I'll take any stage they can get us. I'd love to see Forest come back though. Greatest stage ever. Maybe the one from DOA2 with the huge stained glass windows would be cool.

Yup and to make things more annoying starting the game greets you with a night version of DoA Colloseum with a full moon as the main menu background. They couldn't even be bothered to make that a stage when all you need to do is replace the sky box with said night sky.

The new character releases in December.
But yeah, the big costume pack is likely christmas themed as usual.

I was going to ask about this! It's weird that they would make that the menu image when you can't actually select that version of the stage. Definitely going to ask about that on Twitter.

Since the character is obviously
Rachel at this point, especially with the full moon choice
I guess they could announce most stages are getting a night variant when they reveal the character at DOAFes.

Yeah when I saw it I went right to check the stage list if its somewhere as an alternate version or even temporarely replaced the regular stage but nope.

They could have had this night sky, remove the spectators and have the stage covered lightly in mist or something
