Dead or Alive 6 Last Round Project Manager Sparks Debate After Revealing Koei Tecmo is Dialing Back the Game's 'Sexy Costumes'

Dead or Alive 6's Last Round project manager, Tsuyoshi Iuchi, has ignited debate within the fighting game community by revealing that Koei Tecmo is reducing the number of sexy costumes for characters in the game. Dead or Alive is a fighting franchise with a large fanbase, but is often criticized for its excessive fanservice. The team is aiming to create costumes that "people who like that character will continue to use," keeping the sexy elements to a minimum.

This decision has been met with backlash from fans, who feel the franchise should care about its community.
