Five New Dead or Alive Five Screens

Ayane and Hitomi square off in these fresh images.

Team Ninja is hard at work crafting that other 2012 Japanese fighting game, Dead or Alive 5, and publisher Tecmo has kicked a handful of new screens our way to remind all the soul suckers out there that their rivals over at Namco aren’t the only ones working on a big fighter. Speaking of big things, the clothing on Ayane and Hitomi is conspicuously larger and provides far more coverage than we’ve seen out of the series in the past.

You have to wonder if maybe someone is responsible for this development. Perhaps even somebody who is responsible by no longer being on the team. Unfortunately, as far as we know, there’s no one like that.
