First-person PS5 and PS4 romance game Venus Vacation Prism will see you dating the cast of Dead or Alive, in an all-new experience scheduled to release early next year. While this is unlikely to launch in the West, its Asian edition will feature full English subtitles, much like Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune on PS4 and PS Vita. Games on both the PS5 and PS4 are region-free.
There’ll be six ladies to date in total, with Misaki the first to be announced. Subsequent characters will be announced in the lead up to launch, with the next trailer scheduled for 7th October.

According to a translation of the blurb provided by Gematsu, you’ll find yourself in charge of the Venus Islands, where you’ll find a variety of buxom babes waiting for your attention. “Your story with the girls will unfold based on the choices you make, resulting in a variety of outcomes. The heart-fluttering sensation caused by casual gestures, the thrill felt as you draw closer to your love interest, the worry about which girl to choose… Are you ready to experience true romance on the islands of everlasting summer?”
As a first-person experience, a huge amount of emphasis appears to have been placed on the character animations. It’s unclear whether the gameplay will include minigames like the previous Dead or Alive Xtreme titles, but you will be able to take photographs of your crushes, and make “everlasting memories”.
It’ll be interesting to see whether there’s more to this than just dialogue choices, or if it’s similar to the slew of FMV titles being ported to the PS Store, like Love Is All Around. With more trailers scheduled for next month, we’re confident we’ll be seeing a lot more soon.

For the gamers who have an eye for the divine
Should make a PSVR 2 version and call it the Ultimate Cringe Edition.
One of those rare family get-together type of games
@Czar_Khastik I knew you'd be excited for this one! Great family time awaits! Unforgettable memories!
Color me intrigued haha
Some lonely dude definitely going to buy this game lol
Thank you Team Ninja 😅. Now if you could make DOA7 and NOT screw it up this time that would be great ^__^
PS5 Pro enhancements? 😉😂
This better be PSVR 2 compatible...
Totally unrelated thought: I wonder if I'll be able to play this using one hand with the PS5 Access Controller?
Finally a thinking man's game
@get2sammyb Haha you know me too well! With this news we'll begin our friday family evening
@Czar_Khastik Please stop. You just made me snort a sip of water out my nose and now my colleagues in the office are all looking at me funny.
On topic: This game looks like it is absolutely screaming for a VR version. Romance games might find they have a suitable niche on VR.
Guess I'm importing another DOA spin off. Now where's DOA Xtreme 4?
Things have come a long way since Maria's Christmas Box on the ZX Spectrum...
NEW PEAK ARRIVED
When I was young, my holiday was a trip to Scarborough with my auntie Nora. She had rheumatoid arthritis and struggled to get about.
Either this is not a realistic holiday simulator, or I've been conned.
Amazing, will 100% buy it, hope Kokoro is in the game!
Bass Armstrong bout to be grandfather frfr
Wonder if they got Shiftup to help with the jiggle physics? 😂
@Kidfunkadelic83 Why would they need their help? Team Ninja basically invented game jiggle physics they're the king of it LOL 😅
@StrickenBiged "This game looks like it is absolutely screaming for a VR version. Romance games might find they have a suitable niche on VR."
Its already been announced buddy. Collectors edition comes with a box of wet wipes 😂
@StrickenBiged Sorry about that, but here is a reason why you should force your boss to let you work from home so you can freely snort water out of your nose when you feel like it!
By the way does anyone else find it hilarious that this game has better graphics than any game Team Ninja has put out in the last decade 😅
Well, at least we know they haven’t forgotten about the franchise completely!
KT: "People are asking for DOA 7? Nahhhh. Here's some wholesome game where you can date DOA girls!" 🤣
I guess this means there is still a chance for DOA7, and it would fit lovingly between Tekken 8 and sf6. But you know, better to release a really specific audience game first - why not
Might get this for the mother in-law. Could do with a good laugh.
Finally, someone will love me. The owner of the handlotion factory.
why aren’t game developers considered incels/chuds etc but gamers are ? double standard
I’ll have to get this game… for um, to support it for the chance that a DOA7 will happen. Yeah, that’s it. 😅
Nice to see them announce Game of The Year 2025 so early.
This better comes with enhanced bxxbs physics on the PRO or I have to cancel my preorder.
The important question is - will this game have that slider in the options to adjust the size of certain assets?
Are they releasing a one handed controller to go with this game?
@Czar_Khastik interesting suggestion, working from home will also help you conduct better research too!
I just wish the fighting series would vome back... at least a remaster of 5
@Czar_Khastik maybe koei tecmo can do a strangers of paradise crossover as well. Then Jack can yell at me about chaos during our beach side stroll. Lovely
For those asking for the one-handed controller. I believe PlayStation is offering one!

@stinkyx Misaki was in Dead or alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet
@AndyKazama Same 👍😎
The thing is, games like this actually sell. While games like Dustborn don't. If you want to see real and tangible change, then you have to be willing to drop cash like all the people who love boobs and butts always do.
Will there be a Nier Automata crossover?
Not personally interested in this but it reminds me that I would love a DOA7 but this time make it a proper fighting game! Don't first make $2,000 worth of costumes with 100 season passes and try to build a game around them 👍
Id rather have doa 7 than more fan service garbage.
@NEStalgia I'm pretty sure there will be one, Nier has crossovers with anything (as long as Yoko Taro can squeeze money out of it)!
Can we play volleyball?
I rather see the more adult females like Tina, Helena, Christie, Nyotengu. These games somehow feels weird with such young looking girls.
@stinkyx What is her age 16 or something because the Japanese really like their girls young. They have a few adult women which would feel way more appropriate.
@HarmanSmith Yoko Taro will definitely be interested in squeezing something with this game.
Not going to even lie. This does seem interesting. I don’t own a PS4 or PS5, but it’s definitely be something I’d be interested in playing.
@Flaming_Kaiser Misaki is 18.
https://deadoralive.fandom.com/wiki/Misaki
You like the girls from DOA?
Don't like fighting?
Don't like beach volleyball or other water sports?
This game's for you!
I genuinely find this less weird and gross when they're just being up front about what the game is and not pretending it's a volleyball game. You know, by putting volleyball in it. Still not for me but especially these days there's tons of stuff like this on steam. By owning their premises it kind of validates it where as it was always a bit of a punchline before.
My real question though; do the DOA characters have any cache in 2024 still? Surely they'd be better served going "From the makers of DOA Extreme" then having a cast of original characters to... I don't know. "Date" or whatever the hell this is for. Surely the market of people horny for the DOA cast is aging out and dwindling.
@Tobiaku Still think the more adult looking women are more my thing like Tina, Helena, Christie, Nyotengu, Ayame is in her 20 plus Like Kasumi I hope now atleast they look more adult. The developers can call her 18 but it's clearly a lot of fanservice 18. But thanks for the information it's appreciated. I had the island game from a while ago ago but I found it getting boring quite fast.
@nomither6 The people that hate gamers and say those things also hate games like this anyway i mean everyone saw the seething pre stellar blade release.
I think games like this are great throwbacks to when people just enjoyed games and great games were abundant, i play nikke i like cute girls and I would play stellar blade if it went to pc but I'm certainly no cell saga.
i'm LMAO reading these comments but I bet all these guys put in their pre-orders already.
This is kinda interesting but the steam deck has opened my eyes to what's out there. I had Samantha fox's strip poker on the c64 bit this stuff is even more graphic...😬
Lol! More like Vacation Prison for those that want this. You'd probably be better off with an escort, might cost the same with the DLC. 😆
So I can date girls that are alive or dead?
SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN !!!
This is absolute filth, y'all need to be ashamed of yourself. still there I was lying I want 2 copies. One physical and digital for the secret stash. Don't judge me.
Can't beat the real thong, i mean thang, i mean thing, i mean woman, i mean person, oh ffs.
@Fartingale I see not reason why we can't have both 😜
Dead or Alive Xtreme series is where Team Ninja is allowed to flex, test, train and upgrade their engine and their biggest goal for it: maximize efficiency for jiggle physics.
Omph...my poor wallet.
