By analysing the DOA6.exe file with a resource extractor a bit (used Resource Hacker) I found the login splash screen picture.
That picture still had some old metadata buried within (used ExifToolGUI).

What I find interesting is the "Create Date" section: 2017-12-08. That's one week before that year's NEC tournament when they laid DOA5 to rest!
The month was confirmed in a famitsu interview https://www.famitsu.com/news/201806/09158656.html
The picture reminds me of the teaser of the """upcoming""" Tekken X Street Fighter game, which is the only thing we know about the game really, and that's why it makes me think about the beginning of development lol https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/18j37pigrqe2kjpg.jpg

Technicalities aside it's a pretty cool picture of Kasumi that makes for a good wallpaper btw, high quality, 1920x1080, PNG

but you have to go back few more months because that's a render which means the concepts were already done, character design and engine, story's main concepts and such

Edit: good find btw

Hella silly update. Never thought I would post here again lmao



Alright so, there's an unused fighter card inside the game files which reads like this:
I WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT I WANT, AND WHAT I LOVE UNTIL THE END OF TIME.
Click to expand...
Searching that exact sentence on the internet actually finds some stuff. This is the oldest result I was able to find... an inspirational mug with these words:
I am a fighter
I will fight for what I want and
what I love until the end of time.
Never give up.
Never back down.
Click to expand...
I'm a fighter tagline... and the motivational quote word for word... no doubt this mug has inspired someone at Team Ninja's headquarters, maybe they had some of those in their offices lmfao

Anyway according to the Last-Modified HTTP header of the server hosting the mug picture, it is dated 2017-04-24

This story regarding the genesis of Dead or Alive 6 around an inspirational mug completely makes up for the silly story mode they offered.
:nico: Releasing the unfinished story scenes would equal real redemption for the missing content of the game and would collerate the fan support which have been testified lately despite the bizarre communication from the team...
