Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3 In Development Exclusively For Japan And Asia
Dead or Alive Xtreme, the series that takes Dead or Alive's cast and puts them on vacation with less clothing, is getting a third entry, but not in North America.
Announced during DOA Festival yesterday, Team Ninja wrote on its Dead or Alive Facebook page about the event, "We announced DOAX3 (Working Title) today, but it will be made exclusively for Japan and Asian market." Pictured above is an image from Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, released for Xbox 360 in 2006.
For our review of the last Dead or Alive release, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, head here. During the event, Team Ninja also announced new costumes, a new stage, and details about the game's next patch for Dead or Alive 5.

Our Take
With no intentions to bring the game to North America, it seems the market for this bizarre off-shoot has evaporated stateside, which is probably for the best. The first one was novel in a, "I can't believe this exists!" kind of way, but I can't imagine anyone is clamoring for a third game in America.
