After more than seven years, Dead or Alive 6 is back — updated, optimised for current-gen hardware, and arriving this week. DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round launches on Thursday, 25 June 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. KOEI TECMO and Team Ninja confirmed the release at State of Play earlier this year, and the countdown is now down to days.
What DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round Brings
This is the definitive edition of the 2019 original, which sold over 900,000 copies and accumulated more than 8 million free-to-play downloads. Last Round lifts the experience to current-gen hardware and adds several worthwhile features:
- Photo Mode — reposition characters, adjust poses, and capture your favourite fighters from any angle
- Full roster included — all 24 original characters plus five DLC fighters: Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel, and Tamaki (29 fighters total)
- DLC carry-over — costumes, premium tickets, and save data from the original DOA6 transfer into Last Round
Core Fighters: Free to Play from Day One
Not ready to commit at full price? DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round Core Fighters launches simultaneously as a free-to-play edition. You get four playable characters at launch — Kasumi, Marie Rose, Honoka, and NiCO — plus access to Photo Mode and the online modes DOA Quest and DOA Central. Story Mode requires a separate DLC purchase, but for anyone wanting to try the game without spending anything, Core Fighters is a genuine zero-cost entry point.
A New Dead or Alive Is Coming
The original announcement also confirmed that the next new entry in the DEAD OR ALIVE franchise is already in development at Team Ninja. No platform, release window, or title has been shared — but for a series dormant since 2019, the confirmation matters.
Singapore Availability and Pricing
DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round launches globally on Thursday, 25 June 2026. SGD pricing on the PlayStation Store and Steam is to be confirmed — check both storefronts ahead of launch day. Core Fighters will be available to download for free on all three platforms from day one.

Last words
DEAD OR ALIVE 6 remains one of the most approachable 3D fighters out there, and Last Round is the natural reason to revisit it on the hardware most Singapore players are actually on in 2026. The free Core Fighters edition means there is no cost to trying it — and knowing a brand-new DOA is in development makes Thursday feel like the start of something rather than just a remaster. Keep an eye on the PS Store and Steam for local pricing.
