Tecmo Koei has announced that Dead or Alive 5 will be released around the world around the same time as Japan gets it.
When it comes to some Japanese developed video games, they are usually released a few months in Japan first before they make their way to the West such as with Final Fantasy XIII-2. Tecmo Koei announced this isn’t the case with Dead or Alive 5.
Sadly, Tecmo Koei did not share a certain time frame of when the game will be out. What we do know is that the game is due for release sometime in 2012 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
