Dead or Alive ONLINE touching Asian PCs 2008

Posted Jul 2, 2007 at 6:19PM by QJ Staff Listed in: News, Titles, Genre Tags: Shanda Interactive, Team Ninja, Tecmo

According to an official announcement by Shanda Interactive Entertainment today, the Dead or Alive franchise, a series only seen on consoles and on arcade machines, will soon hit the PC in a full fledged online title. Dead or Alive ONLINE will become a joint project of Shanda and TECMO and should become available in China, Hong Kong and Macao before the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.

Although named similarly to Team NINJA's Dead or Alive Online for the Xbox, TECMO CEO Yoshimi Yasuda mentioned that the title will be a completely new game, dabbed with a feature set seen on any PC online game. "DOA ONLINE is not a simple replant from the console platform to the PC platform," said Yasuda-san. Dead or Alive ONLINE will be leaving of the capable hands of TECMO's Team NINJA Studios and will be molded instead by TECMO's own online game dev studio Lievo.

While the game is set to be released initially throughout Chinese territories, TECMO also announced that Dead or Alive ONLINE will be published for a global scale, offering the online title to other territories over a later initial release date. The Beijing Olympic Games has been dated at August 08, 2008, so we'll keep tabs on the progress of the title. More as they come in.
