The folks at Team Ninja have this evening unveiled brand new information on Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate which encompasses some of the gameplay modes available and character customization features.

A plethora of costumes await each of the characters, including new selections for each character and specialized “Pop Idol” sets. The three “Pop Idol” sets showcase sisters Ayane and Kasumi in classic “JPOP” style; a schoolgirl inspired set for Hitomi, Kokoro, Leifang and Mila; and finally a seductive “bad girl” set for Helena, Lisa, Momiji, Rachel, Sarah and Tina.

If you have already amassed a selection of costumes in Dead or Alive 5 you will be able to transfer them over to further expand your costume offering. You will also now be able to re-experience their favorite battles and story scenes with customizable character animations… which also might fare well with the new Pop Idol costume sets!

For those who want more information on gameplay mechanics, Team Ninja have not come up short on announcements. Most fighting games would not be complete without a mode to help improve combat skills – and in Dead or Alive 5 a new option to do so takes the shape of Team Fight mode. In Team Fight mode you put together a team and compete against another player or the COM to takedown all of the characters on the opposing team. Characters must be selected strategically balancing skill sets, speed and styles in order to gain the advantage, and ultimately, the win.

In addition to Team Fight mode there will be new additions to the games Tutorial Mode, and the Combo Challenge mode adds the ability to practice moves and strategies including Power Launchers and tag combos. Survival Mode now includes the return of items that are dropped with a ground attack or when an opponent is defeated. Each of the nine items has a special benefit such as a watermelon that will fully restore health if needed or reward bonus points. Additionally, the Move List from Dead or Alive Plus has been expanded in this release with even more detailed information. Nearly 1000 new titles are available with a huge library for each character. Battling in different modes, clearing new missions and other new challenges unlock titles to be used to customize player profiles.
