The game got rated in various Asian regions ahead of its March release:

Venus Vacation Prism -Dead or Alive Xtreme- gets 18+ rating in some regions despite lack of nudity, and here's why - AUTOMATON WEST

Team Ninja's upcoming Venus Vacation Prism -Dead or Alive Xtreme- has been given the highest age rating in Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan.

As the release date approaches, the game’s age classifications have started to be revealed. In Japan, Venus Vacation Prism will get a CERO D rating (age 17 and over), a classification lower than the highest “adults-only” rating (CERO Z). However, in other regions, the upcoming game has been given the highest age rating possible. Namely, Venus Vacation Prism will be rated M18 in Singapore, 19+ in South Korea, and 18+ in Taiwan.

A recent article on Twisted Voxel delved into why the game got an M18 classification in Singapore. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) has given the game this rating due to its mature themes and sexual references. In the IMDA’s official statement, the organization concludes that “Overall, the game would be more appropriate at M18, where the Classification Guidelines allow “still or moving images which may be sexually titillating (but do not contain nudity), e.g. scantily-clad women shown in a manner that is sexually suggestive, but not excessive or gratuitous.”

The female characters in the game are buxomly young women who can be dressed in various outfits, including skimpy bikinis and lingerie that expose much of their cleavage and buttocks. During the characters’ movements, their breasts visibly heave and bounce

Eh, it looks impressive graphically but it doesn't quite look fun
But I guess we'll see what reviews are like

It's all about whether you like a CGI girl with huge boobs fawning over you ... or not.

Not sure how many of your usual gaming journous in the west will review it, lol. Or are you talking about user reviews?

Anyway, I did pre-order the physical for PS5 so I'll let you know my impressions once I receive my copy which hopefully will be shortly after the official release in Asia.

I also want a new proper Dead or Alive game. Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 ain't my jam.

After DoA 6 i have no faith in this team.
How do you get rid of Tag?

 

[xanaum]

My body is totally ready.

DoA 4 is still the best anyway.

Yeah... that was a bad move. But I kinda want to still trust Team Ninja. Stranger of Paradise was a pretty good game they've done. Easily the best FF game since FF 12.

I am torn between DoA 4 and DoA 2
