Dead or Alive Xtreme 3's Keijo! Crossover Shown in Video

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge

The girls of Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 show off their Keijo!!!!!!!! (Hip Whip Girl) swimsuits in the game's latest collaboration video. They even try their hand at the manga and anime's aquatic sport, a variation on the sumo circle only the players are on a circular water platform and must knock their opponent in using only their "assets." In Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, that also means exploding swimsuits.

The DLC launched on Thursday. Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 VR, VR support updated, will launch of the PlayStation VR headset on October 13.

Koei Tecmo published the game exclusively in Japan and Asia for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on March 24. The game's PS Vita version is titled Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Venus, and the PS4 version is titled Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Fortune. The Team Ninja community manager stated in November that the game won't have a stateside release, referencing poor reception in West to how female characters are depicted in video games.

The Keijo!!!!!!!! anime will premiere in October on Tokyo MX and BS11. The manga takes place in an alternate Japan where a sport called "Keijo" by law in 2003 became a sport alongside horse racing, boat racing, and cycling that allows for gambling. In the sport, contestants stand on platforms floating on the water and must use their butts and chests to fight against each other to push each other off the platform. Nozomi Kaminashi, a high school student, aims to join the sport after she graduates. Nozomi was raised in a poor family and hopes to make lots of money by playing Keijo. She grew up training in gymnastics, and she has good balance and flexibility. After high school, Nozomi joins a training boarding school and enters the world of Keijo.
