Dead or Alive 6: Last Round Is Out Now — Free-to-Play, KOF Collab, New DOA Teased

Leave a comment

Dead or Alive 6: Last Round is out now. Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo’s definitive edition of the 2019 fighter launched today — 25 June 2026 — on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, packing a 29-character roster, a simultaneous free-to-play tier, and a King of Fighters XIV crossover at launch. Buried in the announcement is also an official confirmation that a brand-new Dead or Alive title is in development — the first time the franchise has acknowledged a next entry in years.

The Full DOA6 Package, Polished for Modern Hardware

Last Round brings together the base DOA6 roster of 24 fighters alongside five DLC characters — Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel, and Tamaki — who were previously sold separately, making this the most complete version of the game available. A new Photo Mode lets players compose and capture scenes with precise character positioning and pose selection, and a new stage rounds out the additions.

The standard edition is priced at USD 39.99; check your regional PlayStation Store or Steam page for local pricing. This is a standalone release — not a free upgrade for existing DOA6 owners — so existing players will need to purchase it separately.

Free-to-Play Core Fighters: A Real Entry Point

Alongside the full release, Team Ninja has launched a free-to-play version called Core Fighters with four playable characters at no cost: Kasumi, NiCŌ, Marie Rose, and Honoka. Core Fighters players get full access to DOA Quest, DOA Central, and online play — including cross-play against full-edition owners — with additional fighters available for purchase.

For Singapore’s fighting game community, this is a meaningful on-ramp. Southeast Asia’s FGC has historically had a strong 3D fighter presence alongside its deep 2D roots, and dropping players directly into online play on day one with a no-cost version makes Last Round one of the more accessible entries the series has had. If you’ve been curious about DOA but never committed, this is the version to try first.

KOF XIV Collab: Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamond

Two King of Fighters XIV guest characters join the roster as paid DLC at launch: Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamond, each arriving with five new costume outfits. The collaboration also introduces the new Lost Paradise “Oboro” stage — a reworked version of an existing DOA stage designed to complement the KOF aesthetic.

One important note: the character licences do not carry over from the original DOA6. Players who previously purchased Mai or Kula as DLC will need to repurchase them for Last Round.

A New Dead or Alive Is Coming

The headline that is easy to overlook in the launch noise: as part of the franchise’s 30th anniversary, Team Ninja has officially confirmed that “the latest Dead or Alive title” is in development. No platforms, no release window, and no title have been announced yet — this is a signal, not a reveal. Further announcements are described as forthcoming.

For fans who have been waiting since the series went quiet after DOA6’s 2019 launch, that is genuinely significant news. Last Round is a solid way to get back into the game in the meantime — particularly for anyone who missed the DLC characters first time around, or who wants the full 29-fighter roster without hunting through years of paid add-ons.

Arcade Archives 2 TEKKEN Launches Tomorrow — The 1994 Arcade Original Comes to Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series

Leave a comment

Hamster Corporation is kicking off its new Arcade Archives 2 sub-series with one of fighting game history’s most significant titles: the original 1994 Namco Tekken. The arcade ROM drops tomorrow, 25 June, on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at ¥1,800 — roughly SGD $17–18.

The Arcade Original, Properly Preserved

Before the PlayStation home port, before the franchise sold tens of millions of copies worldwide, Tekken was a Namco System 11 arcade cabinet. Eight fighters, digitised backgrounds, and juggle physics that shaped an entire generation of FGC muscle memory. Hamster’s release preserves that ROM without modification — no balance patches, no additional characters, nothing that wasn’t in the original cabinet.

What separates this from a barebones ROM dump is the new Arcade Archives 2 platform Hamster has built around it. The updated framework — launching with this title — adds Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) output for tear-free playback on compatible displays, a dedicated Time Attack mode, a rewind function for frame-perfect practice sessions, and global online leaderboards. It is, to date, the most feature-complete official release the original arcade Tekken has ever received.

Why It Matters for the SG Fighting Game Scene

The original Tekken arrived in Southeast Asian arcades at a moment when 3D fighting was still a novelty. Singapore game centres ran it alongside Virtua Fighter 2, and the character archetypes and combo logic that veterans first learned on that hardware never fully left the series. The sidestepping system wouldn’t appear until Tekken 3, but the core damage economy and the juggle-into-wall-oki philosophy that defines modern Tekken competitive play were already visible in the 1994 build.

For anyone active in today’s local Tekken 8 scene, this is a genuinely useful historical reference — and at ~$17–18, a far more accessible one than sourcing original hardware. It also lands at a pointed moment: Tekken 8 just confirmed its Street Fighter 6 Chun-Li crossover DLC last month, meaning players can now run the series’ entire 32-year arc — from System 11 cabinet to rollback-netcode PlayStation 5 fighter — without leaving digital storefronts.

EMPULSE Launches in Early Access Today — 1047 Games’ No-Battle-Pass Movement Shooter

Leave a comment

The team behind Splitgate is back. 1047 Games has just launched EMPULSE in Early Access — a 6v6 movement shooter built around wall-running, grapple hooks, and one genuinely refreshing promise: no battle pass, no paid cosmetics, no microtransactions at launch. It is out right now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

EMPULSE — 1047 Games early access movement shooter 2026
Image courtesy of 1047 Games

What Is EMPULSE?

EMPULSE is set in the post-utopian streets of the Freehold district, and puts two teams of six against each other with movement as the central mechanic. The game lets players wallrun forwards and backwards, swing across maps on grapple hooks, launch off Holojumps, and reshape the environment using P.A.I.N.T. Bombs — tactical paint that can create jump-boost pads, speed strips, explosive patches, or healing zones depending on the type you throw.

Controllable mechs also spawn on the map during matches. These come armed with chainguns, rockets, and shield abilities, and they can shift momentum dramatically if a team holds one long enough. Cross-platform multiplayer is supported at launch, so PS5 and PC players share the same pool.

The No-Monetisation Promise

1047 Games have been direct about one thing: “No store, no battle pass, no microtransactions at Early Access launch.” All cosmetics are earned through gameplay rather than purchased. The studio has also described a community-driven roadmap — meaning player feedback gathered through Discord and surveys shapes the development direction, rather than pre-set seasonal schedules locked in months ahead.

Note the qualifier: this is the policy at Early Access launch, not an indefinite pledge. But for a competitive multiplayer title releasing in mid-2026, starting clean stands out. Watch for updates as the game moves toward full launch.

How to Play From Singapore

EMPULSE is available globally starting today:

  • PS5 — PlayStation Store (search EMPULSE)
  • Xbox Series X|S — Microsoft Store
  • PC — Steam

The Early Access price is USD 19.99. SGD pricing on the Singapore PlayStation Store and Steam SG storefront may differ — check your regional store at checkout. PC players who tried the free Steam Next Fest demo earlier this month will upgrade to the full game with their progress carried over.

About 1047 Games

1047 Games built Splitgate, the portal-based shooter that broke records during its viral summer in 2021. EMPULSE is their next game: same commitment to skill-expressive movement, different mechanics — portals are out, and vertical movement mastery is in. The studio has leaned heavily on community communication throughout development, positioning EMPULSE as a game they intend to build alongside its players during Early Access.

For more new game releases and PC and console gaming coverage, head to our Game News section.

Last Words

Singapore’s PC gaming scene loves a movement shooter, and EMPULSE is the freshest thing in that space right now. If Titanfall 2 left a gap in your rotation, this is worth trying today — USD 19.99, no subscriptions, no gotchas at launch.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 Shows Off West City in Latest Trailer

Leave a comment

Bandai Namco Entertainment dropped the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 “Welcome to West City” trailer on 23 June, and it is the clearest look yet at the first mainline Xenoverse in nearly a decade. New characters, a new setting, and two reworked combat systems — this is the update Dragon Ball fans have been waiting for.

DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 3 – Welcome to West City Trailer — via Bandai Namco Entertainment America on YouTube

Welcome to West City — Ten Years On in the Dragon Ball Timeline

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is set in AGE 1000, a full decade after the events of Xenoverse 2. The hub this time is West City — home of Capsule Corporation — and more specifically West City University, where players are recruited into the Great Saiya Squad by Bulma and Gamma 1.

Alongside those returning faces, four original characters are making their franchise debut: Brett, Lilica, ROM, and Tap. As ever, you create and customise your own protagonist, and these new characters slot into the wider story around your player character. Developer Dimps describes this as “a bold new chapter for the franchise” built on the world Akira Toriyama created.

Soul Assist and Soul Switch — The Two Systems That Could Define Xenoverse 3

The trailer puts heavy emphasis on two new gameplay pillars:

  • Soul Assist: Call in a Dragon Ball universe ally mid-battle to unleash a combined attack alongside your character. Think tag-team energy without handing over control.
  • Soul Switch: Temporarily channel the soul of an iconic Dragon Ball fighter — Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Tien are confirmed so far — borrowing their signature moves and abilities for a limited window.

Both systems look designed to bring legendary roster members into your fight without replacing your custom character, which is a smart middle ground. Race choice also matters: Saiyans can still power up into Super Saiyan forms, while other races like Earthlings bring their own distinct playstyle. High-speed aerial combat and Ki attacks remain the bedrock of the action.

Platforms and What Singapore Players Need to Know

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. There is no Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 version announced at this stage. The release window is 2027 — no specific date or pricing has been confirmed yet.

Singapore players should have no trouble at launch: the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions will be available through the standard regional PlayStation and Xbox digital stores, and the Steam release is global. If you missed the earlier Xenoverse entries, both are widely available and worth playing ahead of this one — check our game news coverage for more upcoming 2027 releases.

Last Words

Dragon Ball has consistently packed out booths at Anime Festival Asia Singapore every year, and the Xenoverse series has a loyal local following in both the fighting-game and JRPG communities here. Xenoverse 3 looks genuinely ambitious — the new Soul systems, a fresh timeline, and original characters suggest Dimps is not just iterating but expanding the formula. 2027 feels far away right now, but this trailer has done its job. Watch this space for release date and pricing news as it drops.

STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT Gets Release Dates and a New Dark Route

Leave a comment

Okabe Rintaro is back. STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT is not a remaster or a port — it is a complete reimagining of the landmark 2009 visual novel from MAGES., rebuilt from scratch for modern hardware, and it now has firm global release dates alongside a brand-new story route that veteran series fans have never experienced.

STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT – Gameplay & Teaser Trailer | Coming 2026 — via Spike Chunsoft, Inc. on YouTube

Not a remaster — a full rebuild

STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT starts from the foundation of STEINS;GATE ELITE, but everything you will see and hear has been replaced. Character artwork, backgrounds, and event images are completely redrawn — the total event image count has roughly doubled, and backgrounds have increased by around 20%. All voice acting has been re-recorded with the returning cast, and composer Takeshi Abo has remade the entire soundtrack from scratch. The base story itself has also been refined: tighter pacing, new dialogue, and an expanded word count, aimed at both newcomers and players returning to Akihabara for the first time in years.

MAGES.’s E-mote system is used throughout for character animations, giving Okabe and the cast vivid real-time expressions and natural movement — a meaningful step up from the static sprite art of the 2009 original.

The Gamma Worldline: a brutal new story

The biggest addition in RE:BOOT is the Gamma Worldline, an entirely new story route that does not appear in the original game or in STEINS;GATE ELITE. In this timeline, Okabe’s alter-ego Hououin Kyouma never came to exist. There is no completed time machine, and D-Mails — the messages capable of reaching the past — cannot be sent. Stripped of the persona that drives everything in the main route, Okabe is forced to work alongside Moeka Kiryu and confronts loneliness and despair in a Akihabara that has no use for a self-styled mad scientist.

A new trailer released in June 2026 by Spike Chunsoft previews the Gamma Worldline, and the tone is deliberately dark. Whether it connects into the established worldline structure or stands as its own contained narrative has not been confirmed ahead of release.

Release dates and platforms

Global release dates for STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT are confirmed on the official site:

  • Xbox Series X|S and Steam: 20 August 2026
  • Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5: 29 October 2026

Physical editions are limited to Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PS5. Pre-orders are open now across all platforms.

Last words

STEINS;GATE has always had a passionate following in Singapore, and RE:BOOT arriving on every platform in the local ecosystem — PS5, Switch 2, Switch, Xbox, and Steam — with a simultaneous Western release means no waiting on a localisation window. If you have never played the original, this is shaping up to be the definitive entry point. If you have, the Gamma Worldline is reason enough to return. Keep an eye on our game news section as both the August and October dates draw closer.

Attack on Titan 3 Gets MAPPA Opening, Out July 1

Leave a comment

Koei Tecmo and Omega Force’s Attack on Titan 3 launches on 1 July 2026 across PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam — and a fresh announcement from MAPPA’s 15th anniversary presentation on 19 June adds one more reason to be hyped: MAPPA, the studio that animated Attack on Titan: The Final Season, will produce the game’s opening animation.

Attack on Titan 3 – Official Release Date Trailer — via IGN on YouTube

MAPPA Steps In for the Opening

During MAPPA’s 15th anniversary showcase, the studio confirmed it will handle the animated opening sequence for Attack on Titan 3. One catch: the opening will be delivered via a post-launch update rather than shipping on day one. Still, the creative continuity is significant — MAPPA helmed the anime’s beloved final arc, and bringing that visual identity into the game’s opening is a meaningful touch for fans.

The 15th anniversary event also teased other upcoming MAPPA productions, including new Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen content, signalling a busy second half of 2026 for the studio.

The Full Story, Finally in One Game

Developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo, Attack on Titan 3 is the franchise’s first video game entry in roughly seven years. It sets out to cover Hajime Isayama’s complete story — from the fall of Wall Maria right through to the final battle — all inside a single title, something neither of the two previous Omega Force AOT games managed.

Beyond the story adaptation, the game adds original lore and narrative content created specifically for this entry. The 3D Maneuver Gear combat system has been overhauled, and for the first time in the game series players will be able to control the Nine Titans directly.

Platforms, Launch Window, and What to Expect on July 1

Attack on Titan 3 releases on 1 July 2026 for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. Text is available in English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean — handy for SEA players — with Japanese-only audio. SGD pricing had not been officially confirmed at time of writing; check the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Microsoft Store, or Steam for local pricing when it goes live.

Koei Tecmo is also running an official global web programme on 1 July at 3:00 PM PDT (2 July at 6:00 AM SGT), with Japanese voice actresses Yui Ishikawa (Mikasa Ackerman) and Shiori Mikami (Historia Reiss) on hand. Expect a full gameplay showcase and story details ahead of — or right alongside — launch.

Last words

Singapore fans have had a long wait for a new Attack on Titan game, and the timing here is stacked: launch day on 1 July, a MAPPA opening coming post-launch, and a live reveal stream at 6 AM on 2 July for the committed. If Omega Force’s upgraded 3D Maneuver Gear combat delivers on its promise, this could be the definitive AOT gaming experience fans have been asking for since the Final Season ended.

DOA6 Last Round Launches Thursday — Free Core Fighters on PS5, Xbox, and PC

Leave a comment

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.

DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round – Announcement Trailer — via KOEI TECMO AMERICA on YouTube

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.

For more upcoming fighting-game and PS5 news, head to our Game News section.

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.

EA Sports UFC 6 Is Out Now — SGD94.90 on PS5 and Xbox

Leave a comment

EA Sports UFC 6 is out today on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S — and with a Metacritic score of 84 and 91 percent of critics recommending it, this is shaping up to be the strongest entry in the franchise. Singapore players can grab the Standard Edition from the PlayStation Store right now for SGD94.90.

UFC 6 Official Reveal Trailer — via EA SPORTS UFC on YouTube

What Makes EA Sports UFC 6 Different

The headline addition is Flow State — a system that gives 30+ fighters a unique three-layer perk setup built around their real-world fighting style. Play as Alex Pereira and you are rewarded for loading up heavy left hooks and kicks; play as Max Holloway and the game nudges you towards relentless volume striking and forward pressure. Build your Flow meter and you unlock finishing combos and strategic advantages tuned to each fighter’s identity.

EA Vancouver also introduces Markerless Capture technology for the first time in the series — capturing authentic fighter movement without a traditional motion-capture suit — alongside the new Sapien Technology for striking contact. The result is hits that land with noticeably more weight than UFC 5. Frostbite physics make their franchise debut as well, making knockdowns and ragdoll reactions feel genuinely unpredictable in a way that mirrors real bouts.

Lead Producer Nate McDonald said in EA’s launch press release that “every element is designed to reflect the individuality of real fighters — our goal is to capture the sport as faithfully as possible.”

New Modes: Hall of Legends and The Legacy

Two new modes add depth beyond the Octagon. Hall of Legends spotlights eight new UFC legends added to the roster — including Randy Couture and Ken Shamrock in their franchise debuts — with biographical content and signature challenges. The Legacy is a narrative expansion within Career Mode that adds 150+ story events, training camp sequences, and sponsorships to flesh out the path from prospect to champion.

What the Reviews Are Saying

UFC 6 holds an 84 on Metacritic and an 82 on OpenCritic heading into standard launch — a series best on both platforms. VPEsports praised the Flow State system and called the visual overhaul on PS5 a generational leap for fighter models and facial animations. Criticisms are familiar: the ground game still lags behind the striking system, and Fighter Pass monetisation is unchanged. The overall consensus is that EA Vancouver did real work this cycle.

Editions and Pricing for Singapore

The Standard Edition is live on the Singapore PlayStation Store for SGD94.90, and includes the base game plus three fighter skins (The Korean Zombie, Miesha Tate, and Leon Edwards). The Ultimate Edition adds the Fighter Pass, Expansion Pass, VIP Pass, and seven days of early access — Ultimate buyers have been playing since 12 June. EA Play members received a 10-hour trial from the same date.

Last Words

MMA draws serious passion in Singapore — UFC events sell out here, and fighting game communities are active on PlayStation. With SGD94.90 for the Standard Edition, UFC 6 lands as one of the more reasonably priced new releases this month, and an 84 Metacritic score suggests the buy is worth it. Alex Pereira on the cover does not hurt.

Persona 4 Revival Gets a Release Date — SGD Prices Now Live

Atlus has locked in the date: Persona 4 Revival launches on 18 February 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC — and Singapore pricing is already live on SEGA Asia’s official store.

The remake lands simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) on 18 February 2027. A Nintendo Switch 2 version has not been announced for launch. The game is based on the expanded Persona 4 Golden — fan favourite character Marie and the Hollow Forest dungeon are both confirmed to appear in Revival.

Watch the Pre-Order Trailer

Persona 4 Revival — Pre-Order Trailer — via Official ATLUS West on YouTube

What’s New in Persona 4 Revival?

This is not just a visual upgrade — Atlus is rebuilding the combat and interface from the ground up. Here are the biggest changes from Persona 4 Golden:

  • Baton Pass: The fan-favourite system from Persona 5 Royal makes the jump to Inaba, letting you transfer your turn to another party member after scoring a critical hit or targeting an enemy weakness.
  • Prime Time: A new charge gauge fills as you land consecutive hits. When it maxes out, SP costs disappear and the sequence ends in a high-damage finishing strike.
  • Series Finales: Each party member gets a unique, powerful personal finisher — similar in concept to P3 Reload’s Theurgy attacks, but built around Inaba’s cast.
  • Enemy Collision: Status-afflicted enemies can be knocked into each other, spreading the ailment and dealing bonus damage — a satisfying new tactical layer.
  • Dungeon Defence: A guard option in the TV World dungeons can block enemy ambushes, adding a new way to manage exploration risk.
  • Simplified UI: One button per ability replaces the original’s scrolling menus. Fully animated cutscenes replace the static visual-novel-style cinematics throughout.

On the audio side: the entire English voice cast has been replaced for the remake. New vocalist Shiori Sasaki and composer Ryota Kozuka are handling the soundtrack.

P-STUDIO director Kazuhisa Wada said of the launch: “As we take this next step, we are thrilled the launch date is set for Persona 4 Revival and fans get to encounter a fresh and modernized experience as they discover the mysteries hidden in Inaba,” as quoted by RPGSite.

Persona 4 Revival Singapore Pricing and Editions

Yes — Revival is available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass from day one. The title also supports Xbox Play Anywhere, so a single Xbox purchase covers both console and Windows PC.

Last words

Persona 4 has always resonated with Singapore players — the small-town mystery, the big questions about identity, the bonds built through one unforgettable in-game year. With SGD pricing confirmed and February 2027 on the calendar, there is time now to decide which edition fits your budget. PS5 and Xbox players can pre-order directly through SEGA Asia; Game Pass subscribers get it on day one at no extra cost. In the meantime, browse our other game news to stay up to speed.
