'Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round' (ALL) Revives Raidou As Playable Character - Screens & Trailer

Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round represents the zenith of the DoA 5 series, including the best and brightest content from those games, along with all-new content only found in Last Round.

Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round will take to the ring to deliver the signature DOA fighting style, 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 utilize 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 customization options get even deeper, 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 DLC content will be transferable from last gen consoles to the PS4 and Xbox One.


Presumed dead after being defeated in the original Dead or Alive Tournament, Raidou was partially reconstructed with cybernetic parts and now returns as a half-mechanized killing machine. Having lost his memory as a side effect of his cybernetic upgrades, all that remains is his unquenchable thirst for power, and his willingness to use whatever brutal methods it takes to achieve glory. Hailing from the same ninja clan as Kasumi and Hayate, Raidou was exiled from his own village when his brutal thirst for power went too far, only deepening his hatred of the clan. His fighting style is Mugen Tenshin Ninjutsu at its core, and he even possesses the ability to recognize and imitate the moves of opponents he has encountered, while keeping original techniques up his sleeve. In new next-gen screenshots released today, Raidou squares off against the two deadly ninjas Hayabusa and Hayate in the electrifying Danger Zone stage. Additionally, characters Kasumi, Phase 4, Tina, Mila and Alpha-152 show off never before seen costumes and customizable hairstyles that will only be found in Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round.


Players wanting a taste of what Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round has to offer can play the main game content in Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round: Core Fighters free of charge. PS4 players will have access to the free-to-download version via the PlayStation Network which includes four fighters - Ayane, Hayate, Kasumi and Ryu Hayabusa - and almost every game mode will be available. Xbox One players will have access to a free trial version of Last Round via the Xbox Games Store consisting of the same free-to-download fighters and features as noted above, but is not expandable via additional purchases.

Xbox One users wanting an extended experience can purchase Core Fighters for $4.99 MSRP, which includes all contents as the free trial, but adds four more fighters to the mix in Hitomi, Tina, Jann Lee and Bass, and is expandable from there via additional purchases. All users, regardless of platform, can transfer unlocked titles, costumes and Story Mode progress from the last-gen versions of Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate as well as compete with combatants from both the free and full retail version of Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round. Additional characters, Story Mode and other features can be accessed for a fee.

Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round will be available for $39.99 on PS4 and Xbox One (physical and digital) and $29.99 on PS3 and Xbox 360 (digital only).
