'Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round' (ALL) To Get Samurai Warriors Content In March

by Rainier on Feb. 25, 2016 @ 3:23 p.m. PST

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 400 open and unlockable costumes, including 31 brand new costumes consisting of winning designs created by actual Dead or Alive players. Brand new hairstyle and accessory options round out nearly endless possibilities to adorn the fighters for any occasion. Players can bring their run of rosters, costumes and  save data from Dead Or Alive 5: Ultimate, as previously purchased DLC content will be transferable from last gen consoles to the PS4 and Xbox One (PS3 to PS4, Xbox 360 to Xbox One).

In anticipation of the upcoming launch of strategy epic Samurai Warriors 4 Empires on March 15, Koei Tecmo America and Team Ninja are thrilled to announce a set of exciting new additions headed to Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round this March!

Fan-favorite Samurai Warriors 4 character Naotora Ii joins the battle alongside the triumphant (and completely free) return of the Azuchi castle stage from Dead Or Alive 3 on March 17, and a brand new set of Samurai Warriors-inspired DLC costumes will become available for purchase on March 29. Fans who purchased the game’s Season Pass 3 will automatically receive all of the Samurai Warriors-inspired content.

Dragged into a mysterious portal by-way-of a M.I.S.T. time-travelling experiment, the ruler of Japan’s Warring States era Ii Clan, Naotora Ii, emerges in present-day next to a competitor of the Dead Or Alive fighting tournament. Given no other choice but to fight for her life, and keeping her family motto of ‘once on the battlefield, one must face the enemy head on’ in mind, a determined Naotora sets out to emerge victorious from this strange new challenge. Specializing in kick-based attacks, Naotora developed her signature ‘Ii Style Leg Strikes’ fighting style after serving under Yoshimoto Imagawa, who based his techniques on his mastery of the traditional Japanese ball game “kemari.” The quick and powerful strikes from her long legs make her a formidable rival to anyone who steps into the ring!

Naotora Ii will be available to download for $5.99. Fans can purchase her debut costume pack for $7.99, or alternatively as a bundle including new character Naotora Ii for $11.99 on March 17 for Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One, and on March 29 for PC via Steam. To whet players’ appetites in the meantime, Team Ninja has shared a variety of images and screenshots of Naotora Ii in action.

March 17 will also see the release of a returning stage that players of Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round can enjoy on PS4 and Xbox One free of charge. Not seen since Dead Or Alive Dimensions, the beautiful Azuchi stage makes its triumphant return looking better than ever! Dropping competitors into the great hall of Oda Nobunaga’s famous residence, players can break through the walls and continue brawling on its rooftops beneath a full moon. In this three-tier stage the fight can also lead to the ground, where a gorgeous cherry blossom tree overlooks the traditional building lit by torchlight.

Finally, on March 29, Team Ninja will release a collection of outfits inspired by Koei Tecmo’s Samurai Warriors series for PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
