Koei Tecmo will release a “Basic Play Free Version” of Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune for PlayStation 4 and Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Venus for PS Vita early summer in Japan, the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu confirms. 

Further information has not been released, but we imagine it will be similar to Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Core Fighters, Koei Tecmo’s free version of Dead or Alive 5 that topped five million downloads, which features four playable characters and almost all of the game’s modes, whilst additional playable characters and the game’s Story Mode may purchased separately.

Thanks, Game Kana.

If you’re eager to play Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 for PS4 or PS Vita, the game has just been made available on the Asian PlayStation Store with English subtitles.

You can find it here for PS4 and here for PS Vita for HK$449 and HK$358 respectively, which translates to about $58 and $46. The game requires 15.4 gigabytes on PS4 and only 1.8 on PS Vita.

The PS4 version includes the Marie’s Devil Swimsuit as a bonus, and five premium tickets to be used in the game’s store. The PS Vita version comes with the tickets and Honoka’s Angel Swimsuit.

Premium Tickets themselves have also been made available in packages of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 300 and 500, with prices ranging from HK$32 to HK$1,110 ($4 to $143). It’s worth mentioning that they’re not required to purchase any content, and they’re just a way to skip the in-game Zack Money grind.

In order to purchase the game, you’ll need an Asian PSN account. After you downloaded, it will be playable on any account for which your PS4 is set as primary, but the Asian account will still be necessary to get any possible DLC coming down the line.

Below you can see four screenshots included in the listings (two od the PS4 version and two of the PS Vita version), and a special jacket for the PS Vita version released to celebrate the launch at the same time asHatsune Miku: Project DIVA X.
