Dead or Alive 6 Roster Now at 24 Fighters
Two fan favourite characters — Brad Wong and Eliot — are making their return in Dead or Alive 6, announced KOEI Tecmo and Team Ninja today. Check both of them out in the new trailer below.
The two fighters are the latest additions to DoA6’s growing lineup of combatants, which is now at a total of 24 playable characters at launch. In case you’re not quite versed in either Brad Wong or Eliot, below is a description for each character:
“Brad Wong, known as “The Drunken Fighter,” is a master of Zui Ba Xian Quan. He uses his drunken style to confuse opponents while striking adversaries from unusual stances ranging from hand-standing and facing backwards to laying down on the ground. Wong spent years training in the remote mountains of China until his master ordered him to begin a journey in search of a legendary liquor. After entering DOA’s third and fourth tournaments, he skipped the fifth; but the drunken boxer returns in Dead or Alive 6, looking to take out all comers.”
“Joining Wong in Dead or Alive 6 is the travelling martial arts scholar, Eliot. Known as “The Apprentice of the Iron Fist,” Eliot launches at opponents with a furious volley of consecutive Xingyi Quan attacks thanks to techniques learned from his master, Gen Fu. After participating in the fourth tournament, Eliot set off on a journey of self-discovery and martial arts training alongside Brad Wong; where Master Fu permitted Eliot to learn the legendary style of Xinyi Liuhe Quan. Eliot enters the sixth DOA tournament with the improved skill and confidence of a true first-rate martial artist.”
Team Ninja also announced a brand new stage called “Unforgettable,” a gallery-like arena made up from a bunch of nostalgic locations from past DoA games.
Dead or Alive 6 is slated to release on February 15th, 2019 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
