Can't wait to get your hands on Dead or Alive 6? You can jump into the upcoming fighting game and give it a try very soon with a new Deluxe Demo.

Announced during EVO Japan 2019, along with the Dead or Alive World Championship and news about the game's Season Pass 1, the Deluxe Demo is coming exclusively for PlayStation Plus subscribers and Xbox Live Gold members on February 22. It will be available through February 24 for North American players. It'll include online ranked and lobby matches, Free Training, Tutorial, Command Training, Combo Challenge, and an introduction to Story mode.

The demo will even include all 24 characters in the game at launch, as well as all hairstyles and glasses for each of them, which will give you some time to play around with different fighters and get to know their strengths.

As far as the upcoming Dead or Alive World Championship goes, there will be qualifiers held in North America, Europe, and Asia, with top players competing at the Grand Finals in Japan. Qualifiers and Grand Finals prize winnings will equal 10 million yen.

But there's also some other exciting news regarding an upcoming collaboration with SNK's The King of Fighters XIV. Popular character Mai Shiranui will be joining the game this June as a guest character, as well as an as-yet-undisclosed fighter who will be announced at a later date. Both characters will come with Season Pass 1.

In terms of the Season Pass, it will be up for grabs on March 1 and will include 62 new costumes: DOA6 Happy Wedding Costumes Vol. 1 and 2, DOA6 New Costumes set Vol. 1 and 2, and additional character costumes for the two SNK fighters. It'll also come packed with new NiCO and Nyotengu costumes. You can expect all the content for Season Pass 1 to drop between March and June 2019.

Dead or Alive 6 is scheduled to drop worldwide on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on March 1.
