Koei Tecmo and developer Team Ninja are bringing fighters back to the arena with the announcement of Dead or Alive 6 Last Round. The definitive edition of Dead or Alive 6 launches June 25, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, with both a standard edition and a free-to-play version releasing simultaneously.
The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer showcasing the series’ fast-paced 3D combat, along with a surprise teaser confirming that development has begun on the next entry in the Dead or Alive franchise.
The Definitive Version of Dead or Alive 6
Dead or Alive 6 Last Round builds on the original release, which shipped over 900,000 copies worldwide and saw more than 8 million downloads for its free-to-play edition. This updated version includes the base roster of 24 fighters alongside five previously released DLC characters: Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel, and Tamaki.
Fan-favorite characters such as Kasumi and Marie Rose will also receive five new crossover costumes inspired by other Team NINJA titles, including Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge and Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation.
An all-new Photo Mode has been added, allowing players to pose characters, adjust positioning, and capture dynamic in-battle shots from multiple angles.
The game has been updated for current-generation hardware and supports carryover of DLC costumes, premium tickets, and save data from the original Dead or Alive 6.
Free-to-Play Core Fighters Returns
Launching alongside the full release is Dead or Alive 6 Last Round Core Fighters, the free-to-play version of the game. At launch, players will have access to Kasumi, Marie Rose, Honoka, and NiCO, along with Photo Mode and online modes including DOA Quest and DOA Central.
Post-launch support is already planned, with new costumes and additional characters scheduled to arrive throughout the year across both the standard and free-to-play editions.
