At E3 2018, the people behind Dead or Alive 6 declared the game had toned down the female sexualisation the series is infamous for. Producer and game director Yohei Shimbori told Eurogamer at the event this was done for two reasons: the first relates to the “global trend” for sexualisation to be toned down, “so everyone can play without being embarrassed”. The second was to “avoid the silliness”, which is in keeping with the “intense fighting entertainment” goal.
