Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo\u2019s definitive edition of the 2019 fighter launched today \u2014 25 June 2026 \u2014 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 \u2014 the first time the franchise has acknowledged a next entry in years.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P1YX7JKs4io\" title=\"DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round - Announcement Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>DEAD OR ALIVE 6 Last Round &#8211; Announcement Trailer \u2014 via KOEI TECMO AMERICA on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The Full DOA6 Package, Polished for Modern Hardware<\/h2>\n<p>Last Round brings together the base DOA6 roster of 24 fighters alongside five DLC characters \u2014 Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel, and Tamaki \u2014 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.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/doa6-last-round-dlc-characters-1.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dead or Alive 6 Last Round - the five DLC characters now included: Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel and Tamaki\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Koei Tecmo \/ Team Ninja<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>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 \u2014 not a free upgrade for existing DOA6 owners \u2014 so existing players will need to purchase it separately.<\/p>\n<h2>Free-to-Play Core Fighters: A Real Entry Point<\/h2>\n<p>Alongside the full release, Team Ninja has launched a free-to-play version called Core Fighters with four playable characters at no cost: Kasumi, NiC\u014c, Marie Rose, and Honoka. Core Fighters players get full access to DOA Quest, DOA Central, and online play \u2014 including cross-play against full-edition owners \u2014 with additional fighters available for purchase.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/doa6-last-round-dlc-characters-2.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dead or Alive 6 Last Round - character roster overview\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Koei Tecmo \/ Team Ninja<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For Singapore\u2019s <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/game-news\/\">fighting game community<\/a>, this is a meaningful on-ramp. Southeast Asia\u2019s 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\u2019ve been curious about DOA but never committed, this is the version to try first.<\/p>\n<h2>KOF XIV Collab: Mai Shiranui and Kula Diamond<\/h2>\n<p>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 \u201cOboro\u201d stage \u2014 a reworked version of an existing DOA stage designed to complement the KOF aesthetic.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/doa6-last-round-lost-paradise-oboro.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dead or Alive 6 Last Round - Lost Paradise Oboro stage from the KOF XIV collaboration\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Koei Tecmo \/ Team Ninja<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One important note: the character licences do not carry over from the original DOA6.

No platforms, no release window, and no title have been announced yet \u2014 this is a signal, not a reveal. Further announcements are described as forthcoming.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/doa6-last-round-photo-mode.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dead or Alive 6 Last Round - the new Photo Mode feature\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Koei Tecmo \/ Team Ninja<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For fans who have been waiting since the series went quiet after DOA6\u2019s 2019 launch, that is genuinely significant news.
