There's a brand new Dead or Alive game in development, and it's headed to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi offered "a glimpse in the future" of the DOA franchise during tonight's TGS 2011 Tecmo event, and he asked that we shut off all recording equipment while doing so (thus the lack of a thrilling image above). The name: Dead or Alive 5.

In a teaser trailer of a pre-Alpha (read: very early) build of a new DOA game, Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa faces off against DOA vet Hayate on top of a brightly lit urban area -- perhaps the Shibuya digs we're currently writing this from? Hayashi teased dramatic new levels, and even went as far as to call the game "fighting entertainment," rather than "just a fighting game." Well then!
