Xbox 360 Dead Or Alive 5 ComingGamespot called Dead Or Alive 4 for the Xbox 360 "slick, fully featured, and exciting as fighting games get." And let's face it, they were probably holding back. But the fear has been DOA4 was going to be Team Ninja's swan song in the series, and that there would be no more games after this one.
Thankfully, Team Ninja has provided the news we've all been waiting for: Dead Or Alive 5 is in the works. There's no more details past that, but the news alone will keep us happy for a while.
Before Dead or Alive 4 released, it was stated on 1UP.com that this could be the last fighting game in the series. When we asked Itagaki about this, he explained that since it's the 10th anniversary of the series, he wanted to bring closure to the current storyline. However, that does not mean that the series if over and done with. Instead, he would like to move forward from DOA4 and possibly bring something new to the fans of the series in the way of a new storyline. While Itagaki did confirm that the next title in the series will be called DOA5, in our opinion, this indicates that the story and possibly many of the characters will be changing.
