Building upon the already sizable character cast for Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, Team Ninja have this morning shared their first details for Honoka, who will be making her debut in the upcoming fighting game.
Having been raised all her life by her gentle and loving grandmother, Honoka is a sweet, easygoing kind of girl… but when she sees a fight, she cannot contain her excitement, or the mysterious power surging within her. Honoka has a strange knack for instantly learning any fighting move she sees. She has kept this power hush-hush, but has been itching to test it out in secret. Honoka studies her favorite moves from various sources and fighting styles, and combines them into a unique style which she calls “Honoka Fu”. Since her build is that of an average teenage girl, her moves, while skilled, may not always pack the same punch as the fighter she learned them from. In her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance, however, she is imbued with an unbelievable strength and becomes capable of techniques she has never seen from any other fighter.
Alongside the announcement of Honoka, Team Ninja have shared a handful of screenshots for her which have been sourced from next generation consoles. These display Honoka facing numerous adversaries including Brad Wong, Rachel and Leifang. This is in addition to her demonstrating the power of her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance, as well as showing off some tag team action with Raidou.
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is currently set for release on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (Physical/Digital) in addition to the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 (Digital-exclusive) from February 20th 2015.
