Dead or Alive 6 is an upcoming fighting game developed by Team Ninja and published by Koei Tecmo. It is the nineteenth game in the Dead or Alive series and a sequel to Dead or Alive 5. The game is set to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 15, 2019.

Running on a new engine for the eighth generation of consoles, new features include visible damage on the fighters during the course of the fight while the sweat effects from Dead or Alive 5 return and are more pronounced. The developers stated they wish to focus less on the sexualized aspect of the franchise and more on the gameplay. The breast physics however are still part of the game, yet appear to be toned down.

New mechanics introduced are the Fatal Rush, a beginner-friendly mechanic where pressing one button multiple times results in the character performing a simple combo, and the Break Gauge, a meter that builds up as the characters attack. If the Gauge is full, a Fatal Rush will culminate in a move similar to what the Critical Blow in Dead or Alive 5 would do. There is a new mechanic named the Fatal Reversal, where the character reverses an opponent, stunning them, before appearing behind them, open for a counter.
