In a July 2006 interview with Play Magazine, Itagaki stated that Code Chronos will in fact be a prequel to the Dead or Alive series and will relay the story of characters Ayane and Kasumi before the first tournament. Sadly, this game is very unlikely to be completed and released to the general public. Itagaki, the lead designer, is currently suing Tecmo for unpaid royalties and some harsh words from the companies president. On July 1st, 2008, he will have officially quit Tecmo and leave behind the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series.
But I doubt Tecmo would allow their golden series to die. That would be like Sega giving up on Sonic because Yuji Naka left (which may have been a good thing since Sonic Unleashed is looking uber cool). Any who it is going to be released (if it does) for the Xbox 360.
