"Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3" may not see a North American release.

Gamers who have been into games for a long time will be very familiar with the "Dead Or Alive" game series. However, those new to the game may not be able to relate as to how devastating it is that the US and Europe won't be getting a Western Version of the Japanese video game.

According to Engadget, "Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3" won't be seeing a Western release date because the publisher is worried about how the Western consumers will react to how the female characters are depicted in the game.

While the depiction of the women in the game may ruffle some feathers, Koei Tecmo explained on Facebook that it was a good idea to release the game in the Western countries.

Even a developer, Hunie Pop, took to Twitter to express their disappointment and offered Koei Tecmo a whopping $1 million to continue with the originally planned release. However, there is no response from Koei Tecmo regarding this.

Gamers who have been playing or are familiar with the "Dead Or Alive" video game seires will be glad to know that there are nine characters who made the cut into "Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3." Marie Rose, Honoka, Kasumi, Ayane, Kokoro, Nyotengu, Hitomi, Momiki and Helena Douglas are all playable characters.

There is no details from Koei Tecmo if additional characters will be added via DLC in the Japanese version of the game.
