A new Dead or Alive game is in development, while Dead or Alive 6: Last Round is coming in June
Last Round will bring back previously released DLC characters and add new fighters
Koei Tecmo has announced that a new game in the Dead or Alive series is currently in development.
Dead or Alive series producer Yosuke Hayashi announced the news during tonight’s PlayStation State of Play presentation.
A brief teaser trailer was shown, saying: “The dawn of a new chapter awaits. In development for PlayStation 5.”
Before this, Hayashi announced that a special edition of Dead or Alive 6 will be coming to PS5 in the summer. Tecmo Koei has subsequently confirmed that Last Round will also be released on Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Dead or Alive 6: Last Round will be released on June 25, and will feature graphical improvements designed to make use of current-gen hardware.
It will include the original roster of 24 characters plus five DLC characters – Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel and Tamaki (Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamonds will not be included). It will also include new costumes and an improved photo mode.
More new fighters will also be added Dead or Alive 6: Last Round, with Koei Tecmo saying it will be revealing these later in the year following the release of the game.
Players who own the original standard edition of Dead or Alive 6 will be able to carry over DLC costumes, premium tickets and save data to Last Round.
As well as the paid version, Koei Tecmo will also release a free-to-play version called Dead or Alive 6: Last Round Core Fighters.
This will include Marie Rose, Honoka and Nico as playable fighters, and will include Photo Mode, DOA Quest and DOA Central.
