The world’s most high-octane fighting franchise is making its long-awaited leap to current-gen hardware. KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Team NINJA have officially announced DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round, set to launch on June 25, 2026. This definitive edition is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, bringing optimized performance and a wealth of new content to the 2019 classic.
A Modern Upgrade for Modern Hardware
Last Round is designed to be the ultimate DOA6 experience. It features the original roster of 24 fighters plus five beloved characters from the game’s previous DLC lineup: Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel, and Tamaki. (Note: Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamond remain separate DLC).
Fans of the original release will be pleased to know that save data, DLC costumes, and premium tickets from the standard edition can be carried over to the new version. Additionally, franchise favorites like Kasumi and Marie Rose will receive five brand-new costumes inspired by Team NINJA hits like NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor’s Edge and DOA Xtreme Venus Vacation.
New Ways to Play and Capture
The update introduces a dedicated Photo Mode, allowing players to capture cinematic combat moments with precision. The mode includes advanced features like “character position” and “pose selection,” perfect for showcasing the game’s improved visual fidelity.
For those looking to test the waters, DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round Core Fighters—the series’ popular free-to-play edition—will launch simultaneously. This version grants access to Marie Rose, Honoka, and NiCO, along with online modes, "DOA Quest," and "DOA Central."
A Glimpse into the Future
While Last Round celebrates the current era, the announcement concluded with a tantalizing surprise: a teaser for a completely unannounced title in the DEAD OR ALIVE series. While details remain under wraps, it suggests that June 25 is just the beginning of a major resurgence for the franchise.
