Update: TheDead or Alive 6official sitementions the Deluxe Demo will only be available to PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold members.

Today at Evo Japan 2019, Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja started revealing the contents forDead or Alive 6’s Season Pass 1, which will be launching alongside the game. The Season Pass will include two characters from SNK’sThe King of Fighters XIV, including the beautiful kunoichi Mai Shiranui. The secondKOF XIVcharacter’s identity will be revealed at a later date.

Moreover, a new time-limited trial version forDead or Alive 6was announced.  Unlike the usual “Core Fighters” trial versions, this  “Deluxe Demo” will let players try out all of the game’s characters, except for Nyotengu, who is available in pre-order copies, and Phase 4, available in the digital deluxe edition, for a total of 24 characters. This demo will only be available for a few hours: From February 22 to 24, and only for PlayStationPlus and Xbox Live Gold members, with no PC demo, probably because potential hackers and data miners could do potentially illegal things with it. The Deluxe Demo will include the beginning of Story Mode, all 4 Training Modes, and Online Mode.

Mai Shiranui already made a playable appearance inDead or Alive 5: Last Roundthrough one of the many DLCs the game got.

The first Season Pass will also include new costumes for NiCO and Nyotengu and a wedding dress and tuxedo for all characters in the game. Mai Shiranui and the otherKOF XIVcharacter will also have 5 unique costumes. Screenshots of the costumes can be found in the gallery below.

New details on theDead or Alive 6World Championship were revealed as well, the tournament will have a 10 million Yen cash prize, which is around 100K $,  and the Grand Final will be held in Japan.
