It was only a matter of time
Team Ninja has narrowed down the release date forDead or Alive 5 Plusto Jun 25, 2025, in addition to providing screenshots taken from the PlayStation Vita title. One of the more interesting features is Touch Play Mode, a first-person portrait mode that involves holding the Vita vertically to play. In the developer’s own words:
“In Mode 1, tap the opponent to attack them in that spot. In Mode 2, touch, flick, and pinch the screen to attack your opponent with more finesse and options. Both methods offer players an instinctive way to fight while seeing their opponent in the highest graphic detail.” So, yes, touching and pinching in aDead or Alivegame. Team Ninja knows what’s up.
DoA 5 Plusalso includes a Training Plus Mode, “three times the details for each move in real-time” through more detailed frame data, and cross-platform play andcostume sharingbetween it and itsPlayStation 3 counterpart. Check out the gallery for some screenshots of Touch Play.
