More On: Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate
Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate, the expanded version of last years amazing Dead Or Alive 5, will be released this September and Team NINJA has given us details of brand new modes being introduced in the game, new costumes and pre-order incentives. 

First the game will include a new "Team Fight" mode where you put together a team of up to seven fighters to take on another team. The match will continue until the entire opposing team has been eliminated.

Survival mode now includes the return of special items that are dropped when enemies are defeated. Items like a watermelon will full replenish your health after a fight or reward bonus points. 

Also included are the new tutorial modes and combo challenges that were included in Dead Or Alive 5+ for the Vita which have been improved upon including power launchers and the tag combos. 

Another new, and uhh, strange addition is the ability to relive all your favorite entrance, victory, defeat and story animations with customizable character appearances. So if you really want to see Tina make her entrance wearing a wacky costumes and hair styles, you can do so. 

Finally, as you would expect in a Dead Or Alive 5, the game will offer costumes to those who pre-order the game from Amazon or Gamestop including the "Pop Idol" set for Ayane and Kasumi, the "bad girl" set for Helena, Lisa, Momiji, Rachel, Sarah and Tina and a schoolgirl inspired set for Hitomi, Kokoro, Leifang and Mila. Any costumes you purchased from the original Dead Or Alive 5 can be transferred to the new game. 

Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate hits PS3 and Xbox 360 on September 3rd, 2013 and be sure to check out the extended trailer showing off the new modes below.
