The creator of Dead or Alive, Team Ninja's Tomonobu Itagaki, has revealed that he is working on the next installment of the lady-jammed beat-'em-up, Dead or Alive 5, while speaking at a recentDOA event.
Itagaki wasn't giving anything away, though, merely hinting that he's already been racking his brain to come up with new ideas for his next adventure in exquisitely detailed lady fighting (andman-bashing, of course). During the event, Itagaki suggested that tag battles are being axed from the game.

We reckon it's an easy bet that Dead or Alive 5 will gravitate towards Microsoft's Xbox 360, though that's not a guarantee. Historically, the series has bounded immediately toward the most powerful given system at any given time, be it Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Xbox or 360. So it's entirely possible that the series couldstart flirting with the latest hotness, PlayStation 3. Whatever its platform of choice, there's no word on when we can expect to seeDead or Alive 5 bounce into action.
