Tecmo Koei America has announced a collector’s edition for its upcoming fighter sequel Dead or Alive 5. It will include “sensual” in-game swimsuits for female characters and a deluxe set of both physical and in-game items in a “sleek metal case.”

“We wanted to create a truly compelling package of rewards to make our ‘DOADay’ launch a day to celebrate for the fans that have made Dead or Alive synonymous with intense hand-to-hand fighting combat,” said Amos Ip, SVP and General Manager of Tecmo Koei America. “Whether it’s a stunning set of female fighter swimsuits for preorders or an entire luxurious package complete in an embossed metal case for the Collector’s Edition, players will get something that enriches their gaming experience.”

Its full contents, courtesy of Tecmo Koei, include:

• First-class embossed steel case that keeps the precious goods inside safe.
  
• Premium swimsuit costumes for Dead or Alive 5’s full cast of playable female characters.
  
• An exclusive hardcover art book details the game’s lush imagery and the game’s stirring soundtrack CD lets fans experience the music of Dead or Alive even when they’re away from the game.
  
• A full-color poster of the Dead or Alive 5 cast tops off the deluxe package of items.

It will be available for $79.99, exclusively at GameStop. A teaser image for the collector’s edition can be seen to the right.

Dead or Alive 5 is due for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 25.

Japan's CE is totally different, there's includes things like metal character plates and character posts cards which is why there's is going to be $150.

This was just announced today, I'll be getting both though. Those metal plates are going to be sick
