Rumour has it that a fifth Dead or Alive game could be in-the-making, according to an article published on Go Fanboy yesterday.

Apparently, European retailers are being informed via distribution channels that a follow-up to Xbox exclusive Dead or Alive 4 is ‘in the works’, and it looks like it will be going multi-platform. Immediately the PlayStation 3 springs to mind as a potential candidate.

Nothing is definite at this time, as we have little more than Go Fanboy’s word to go on. However, we’re going to keep our ear to the ground on this one.

Being a massive Tekken fan, I would be interested to see, should rumour become reality, whether Tecmo’s Team Ninja can sway me from Namco’s prestigious fighting franchise.
