Venus Vacation Prism: Dead or Alive Xtreme is a little different to past spin-off titles in Ninja Theory’s series. Rather than focus entirely on minigames, it’s more of a dating sim, where you’ll spend most of your time wooing the six buxom ladies featured in the release, and observing the outcomes.
There are a couple of minor minigames that can emerge as part of the gameplay, though. Chief among them is an interactive water splashing activity, where you’ll be able to get your favourite waifus, er, wet.
As the official description, spotted by Gematsu, explains: “When wet, the skin and fabric of the clothing changes in real time. Don’t miss those magical moments, such as when their skin is wet and the fabric becomes translucent – take your best shot!” Where will you be aiming?

Another minigame involves “hand sumo”, as you playfully wrestle with the girls. If you win the battle, you may topple over and fall on top of your favourite. Don’t worry, the landing will be perfectly cushioned by their br—er, body.
To be fair, it looks like the photo mode will rival the likes of Infinity Nikki and Gran Turismo 7, offering a dizzying array of parameters for you to get the best possible snaps. You can be just like one of those guys travelling the world with your girlfriend, photographing them everywhere you go for their Instagram!
It seems a key part of the gameplay loop will involve photography, as taking good snaps will earn you fans, unlocking new outfits for the girls to wear.
The title’s due out on 6th March for PS5 and PS4, but crucially, it’ll only be available in Japan and Asia. The latter version will include English subtitles, however, so you may want to consider importing the game if this is something you’re eager to play.

“Favourite Waifu’s”
Well there’s no Ayane, Rachel, Tina, Momiji, Nyotengu, Helena or Kasumi in the game
I wanna grab a copy in Japan next holiday cause by then it'll be cheaper 2nd hand. Or maybe try find a limited edition on sale or something.

PS5 Pro support? Asking for a friend.
@MrPeanutbutterz So are you also reluctant to tell people that you like shows/movies just because there's shows/movies with a lot of nudidty?
@MrPeanutbutterz why are you acting like such a prude?
Not really my thing. I'm still waiting for a new DOA fighting game but I do gotta give them some credit. The graphics are pretty impressive!
I’m too distracted by how bland the characters anime heads are to notice the jiggling most of the time. Shame cuz it’s some top notch bouncing.
Hand sumo sounds perilously too close to a Carry On Up The Double Entendre.
As in "I'm afraid I've got to 'pop off' with Babs Windsor and partake in a spot of hand sumo"
@MrPeanutbutterz Exactly. If sex, relationships or god forbid soft-porn ever becomes prominent in this world thats it, I've had it and I'll just go wokie. I'll be off to the monastery in a heartbeat. After all the church is the one place there will never be sexual desire....oh wait.

@Dragoon1994 I knew someone was going to say that. First comment, too! Damn!
@mariomaster96 I think what MrPeanutbutterz is talking about specifically is the context. This is an interactive piece of media that is specifically designed to titillate and arouse. It's more akin to soft-core pornography than any film or television show.
It's also probably completely rubbish, ergo only making it worthwhile playing if you jack off to it.
@lindos it's so funny seeing this kind of straw man here. No one mentioned church or religion or anything at all puritanical. The difference between games, movies, music, etc is (usually) the interactive part. It's disingenuous to act like that doesn't change perceptions when we share what we like to play. It also changes the conversation cause I could tell you I enjoy Mario without providing a window into what porn I might like. Do you understand how that could easily get creepy?
@PorkChopExpress
Yeah, which they will as this is Sony we are talking about.
@MrPeanutbutterz There should be room for both in this life. People who complain about juggies in a game are just as sad as people complaining that a woman is bald with tatts.
Just don't play it, simple as that.
PSVR2 mode when?
@LifeGirl People complaining about what is effectively "Sex Toy: The Game" and how it grossly objectifies women are the same as people who complain they can't objectify a female character because it doesn't conform to their idea of attractive are the same? Really?
If anything they're the polar opposites.
Not my cup of tea.
I tried DOAX 3 and i find the gameplay loop only fun for 10 minutes. After that it's just the same playing sports / mini games and give present to your waifu. And looks like this game has less activities / mini games than DOAX 3 and does't have the core waifus either.
Shame that this is what DOA has become

Already preordered.
Is it Venus or you know -enis
While this game isn't up my alley, the tech behind the cloth behavior actually sounds really cool!
This is the kind of tech we should be seeing in games as hardware gets more powerful - even in instances where it's not being used to titillate, but just to simulate real-world behavior.

@MrPeanutbutterz
With that logic you wouldn’t wanna watch movies either, ’cause of porn.
Most non gamers don’t know about these kind of games anyway, especially outside of Asia 😂

Is there a 'Naked' mod you can apply? Asking for my friend 😬😬

@get2sammyb
I can tell this game has gotten your head spinning 😂. Think you were meant to write team ninja instead of ninja theory😅.
A little flustered myself after reading this article 🥴
@MrPeanutbutterz get over it. Stop worrying about what others may think of you. Life’s too short.
As always : nobody thinks of children ...
@Dragoon1994 Christie, Hitomi, Mila, Ryu Hayabusa (please let me date him). Also, is it me or do they keep reducing the number of women with each release to sell later as DLC?
@TechaNinja Depends what hand you usually use ??
Is there a Platinum?

I loved Xtreme 3 back in the day, so I'll definitely have to get this too.
Beautiful video game babes in bikinis I love it.
I hate the photo mode in Infinity Nikki, I still can't get a Pic of that monster while it's running away. And the chandelier cow took way too long as well. I need my photo mode to work like their fishing game, down on L then hit square. 😂
I think this game needs more of a video mode than photo mode to truly appreciate the jiggle physics. 😎
@get2sammyb it's a Team Ninja spin-off, not Ninja Theory.

@premko1 You beat me to it lol
@MrPeanutbutterz
Oh please.
"This is why I am reluctant to tell people to watch movies." Since there are tons of pornographic videos.
"This is why I am reluctant to tell people to listen to music." Since there are tons of songs with truly awful and disgusting lyrics.
Your take makes no sense.
If it wasn't for Pushsquare I wouldn't even know this game existed. it is not even CLOSE to being representative of the gaming selection out there.
I really hope to get this game when it comes out. It looks cute. You can all act like prudes in the comments all you want, it’s obviously just not for you so move on! I’m a girl, and this looks like a fun game to me, and I mostly only play Pokémon.
It hasn't been reviewed at this site (yet?) but I do highly recommend INFINITY NIKKI having now played it for about 100+ hours and done all the chapters - easy 9/10 in my opinion. The graphics are gorgeous and there is surprising depth to its puzzles and platforms within the open world way beyond its premise of dressing up and being a stylist, collecting the various orbs, bugs and materials is genuinely fun and engaging too.
@MrPeanutbutterz
Right. Pornography existing is why I'm reluctant to tell people I have eyes.
Dumb.
@JustCameHereToSay
And why exactly is this offensive to you? You don't like it, don't engage with it. Someone else wants to pleasure themselves while looking at 3d models, that's their thing. Is it hurting you, or anyone else?
Stop it with the pointless moral grandstanding.
People that actively complain about content that isn't made for them are pretty entitled. There aren't even 2 sides about this - just different opinions coming form the same annoying mindset: "if i don't like it, it shouldn't exist".
This series (Xtreme in particular) has been going on for over 20 years. If the latest instalment is the one that breaks the camel's back for anyone to say they aren't "gamers" so be it. Your fault to make gaming your whole personality.
Regarding the typical "just watch *orn" response, i don't get how constantly preaching that gamers should watch other people having sex on camera instead of enjoying some (very tame) sexy in their games makes anyone but YOU sound like a pervert.
I don't play these games, but i'm glad they exist because i enjoy people enjoying things in a community i've been part of my whole life.
STOP GATEKEEPING what others should enjoy or not.
Ive already preordered it🤭
@RamboMike No, with that logic I wouldn't want to watch porn movies, which I don't.
Pretty girls, big bubs, I like.
You guys cry a lot in here.
@GreatAuk Some people still stigmatize games in a way that films and music haven't been for decades. Film and music are mainstream to the point that people have consumed them without even trying. Almost everyone will have a favourite film/actor song/musician. Not so with games.
Like I once worked with an older woman who thought all videogames were murder simulators because she saw Mortal Kombat and all people who play them must be psychopaths. That's where my take comes from.
Game of the year for 2025 is right here.
@Carck This is exactly right! There are so many games reported on here I absolutely despise. I don’t constantly bitch about them. I mean I make the occasional snarky remark, but I don’t sit and belittle them all. To me, this looks like a cute fun game that I can enjoy. It’s obviously not for anyone, but some of us are looking forward to it.
@symmetrian I wouldn’t want to tell anyone if I had a computer because that’s what they’d assume I look up!

@MrPeanutbutterz This game clearly isn’t for you, so just quit commenting on this already. Just ignore it. I don’t care about that article for that new Elder Scrolls remake, and you don’t see me being an ass about it. Just let it go!
Not something I can buy but I'll look at it from afar out of curiosity of the series, for 'yes research purposes'. XD
There are other series I can consider content wise or characters I can see more my thing for these types of games that I can get into but always found this sub series fair.
I've never played a DOA game but have researched a fair bit about the series and respect it.
Even if the fighting games may be good and I could have bought 4 but didn't bother. I'll probably consider one of the main/sub series eventually. Whether physical pickups or emu.
Goes back to Senran Kagura Burst Renewal (only uses the dressing room for trophies that's it, never cared for it) and Gal Gun series (character model viewer for trophy as well). XD I enjoy the combat/writing for sure.
Very excited for this game!
@LavenderShroud There's a marked difference between commenting on a game that isn't for you and making valid comments and engaging in discourse about exploitative garbage like this. Plenty of people in the thread agree with me, BTW.
But if you don't like my comments and they're "clearly not for you", you are more than welcome to follow your own advice "just let them go" and stop telling me what to do ☺️
DOAX2 was actually pretty fun. The volleyball was decent, all the side activities were pretty fun and had good variety. Lots of stuff to collect. And the after hours Casino was pretty cool. Overall though, I wish we could just get a new DOA fighting game, that harkens back to DOA2 Ultimate.
I hope it get PS5 Pro support. Day 1 for me
@get2sammyb And he is right the Japan is quite questionable on that part. Its like they cant handle adult women. 😆
@Dreman99 I agree the volleyball was the best thing but the rest got boring so fast i stopped playing it after a few times.
Meanwhile back in the West...
@LavenderShroud
But who cares what they assume? Again, it's not hurting anyone and if you're having a good time, it's basically free fun.
If you're worried about getting judged by others - people only really do that on the internet. Most people are too busy with their own quirks and flaws to give half a thought to anyone else's quirks or flaws.
@Dreman99
Honestly and unironically my favorite fighting game ever. It was smooth, fluid, and had gameplay that emphasized player skill and reading the opponent over memorizing a move chart and frame data.
Also also, one of the only fighting games that I could play Co-Op, and since NONE of my friends are fighting game enthusiasts, it's the only way I could play with them (otherwise it's one match and 'my thumbs hurt' so they quit).
