Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo have announced plans to publish the recently announced Dead or Alive 5: Last Round internationally from early 2015. Available on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox360 and Xbox One platforms, Last Round purportedly represents the “zenith” of the DoA5 series, including the best content from past games, along with all-new content never before released.
Below is what Koei Tecmo has had to say on the game:
DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round will take the signature DOA fighting style to the ring, wrapped up in the most graphically impressive version of a DEAD OR ALIVE game ever seen. The combatants in DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round will present an unparalleled level of life-like detail, and smooth striking animations that will firmly place every fighter in the heat of the moment. The game’s dynamic interactive stages once again boast a range of visually striking locations from around the world, while offering even more destruction, deadly new danger zones and a higher level of strategic choices for players to utilise in the quest for victory.
DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round will deliver the largest roster of fighters in any DOA game to date. Fighters will include: Hayabusa, Hayate, Kasumi, Ayane, Rig, Momiji, Leon, Kokoro, Tina, Lisa, Brad Wong, Jann Lee, Hitomi, Leifang, Christie, Eliot, Leon, Gen Fu, Bayman, Bass, Zack, Helena, Marie Rose, Phase 4 and newly released Nyotengu along with Akira, Pai, Jacky and Sarah Bryant from the Virtua Fighter series. Character customisation options get even more involved, as DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round will offer over 300 open and unlockable costumes, and the brand new hairstyle and accessory options will give nearly endless possibilities to adorn the fighters for any occasion. Players can bring their run of rosters, costumes and accessories from DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Ultimate, as previously purchased transferable from last gen consoles to the PS4 and Xbox One.
More information is expected to be announced on the game in the near future.
