Marie Rose, the recently revealed new playable character for the upcoming Japanese fighter Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate Arcade, could be seeing an international release.

Developer Team Ninja has assured fans that, despite the fact that Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate Arcade is currently a Japan exclusive title, they "haven't forgotten about our overseas fighter fans". Team Ninja also thanks fans for their support of the franchise and promises more information in the future.

I think that if Marie Rose is released in the west, it will be as a DLC fighter, as I can't see Tecmo re-releasing Dead or Alive 5 a second time here.

Also, a new batch of screens of the game showing Marie Rose has emerged from the game's first location test. Check them out below.
