Dead or Alive Series on Sale: A Nostalgic Return to Xbox with Unbeatable Prices

Team Ninja has initiated a significant sale on the Dead or Alive series for Xbox.

During the initial generation of Xbox and into the Xbox 360 era, Team Ninja maintained a strong alliance with Xbox, making all of its releases exclusive to that platform. This collaboration continued until Tomonobu Itagaki, the creator behind Dead or Alive and the revamped Ninja Gaiden, departed from Team Ninja, which subsequently led to the conclusion of their partnership.

Since that time, the developer has primarily focused its efforts on working with Sony. However, during last month’s Xbox Developer Direct, an exciting new partnership was unveiled. This included a surprise announcement regarding Ninja Gaiden II Black, which was not only revealed but also made available on Game Pass. Additionally, Ninja Gaiden 4 is set set to debut in 2025 and will additionally be featured on Game Pass.

It seems that this renewed cooperation has prompted a substantial sale on Xbox, featuring some of the lowest prices ever offered on the Dead or Alive franchise. The deals will last for two weeks, providing a perfect opportunity to explore classic fighting games:

We at the editorial team highly recommend titles 4 and 5, with the former being a highly engaging fighting experience that also includes Master Chief as a playable character within a Halo-themed arena. The fifth installment offers a complete edition featuring an impressive single-player mode. Moreover, the second game remains a fantastic choice for those looking to revisit the fast-paced and traditional aspects of the series.
