hile last week we dropped the story that there would be a secret character in Tecmo’s upcoming Dead Or Alive 4 that was from a non-Tecmo franchise, we can now officially confirm which franchise this character will be from.

A Tecmo source at X05 in Amsterdam today confirmed to Game Informer Online that the game that this secret character is from is none other than Halo.  This is the first time Team Ninja has gone away from their own stable of characters for the Dead Or Alive series and is using a character from another title.  While our Tecmo representative would not say exactly who this character would be, we found out it is not Master Chief.  We unfortunately can’t 100% confirm which character will be in Dead Or Alive 4, but we can guarantee it will not be a warthog.

We’ll have further updates on this story when we get them.
