Details are slim at the moment, although we do know that the port is expected to hit Sony's handheld sometime during the early part of 2013. An update to the console version of <em>DOA5</em> is also expected sometime next year.<br /><br />The reveal, made on the official IGN Pro League <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=z1_ewRYND70">YouTube channel</a>, comes shortly after the announcement that <em>Dead or Alive 5</em> will be added to IPL's official stable of e-sports titles. Starting in 2013, <em>DOA5</em> tournaments will be held alongside IPL's other events, which currently include <em>Starcraft 2</em> and <em>League of Legends</em>, among others.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/01/dead-or-alive-5-plus-announced-for-vita-coming-early-2013/">Dead or Alive 5 Plus announced for Vita, coming early 2013</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 01 Dec 2012 13:58:00 EST.
