Report: Dead or Alive 5: Last Round sees 2 new fighters

4.7

On top of its upgraded and expanded content, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round will feature two new fighters, one female and one male, Siliconera reports. The lady fighter is new to the Dead or Alive franchise, while Koei Tecmo hasn't clarified whether the dude fighter is a returning character.

The female fighter – and presumably other characters – will be developed with Koei Tecmo's new Soft Engine, which is tuned to better depict "softness" and "warmth" of characters' bodies, the site reports. Dead or Alive and Dead or Alive 2's "The Danger Zone" stage will make an appearance in Last Round as well.

Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is in development for PS3, Xbox 360, PS4 and Xbox One, and it's due out in spring 2015.

This looks sick. I have always loved DoA.

What is this? I've never played it. Is it kind of like street fighter, or Injustice? If so, I don't enjoy these types of games anymore. I remember Street Fighter on "retro" consoles and it was amazing, but I never enjoyed Injustice that much which I bought for the PS4, I don't even know why.

The new female character sounds like she'll be more fun to use than the male one.

DeluxeHazard The more characters the better.

Agreed, the more the merrier. Especially with fighting games.

Yin How many times can they release the same game in such a short amount of time? I already have the first one that released. Kind of makes me sad considering some of the characters from DOA 4 returned the second time they released it. Also, really despise these power/ability bars in fighting games. Getting a special ability for losing is not cool. As for these new characters, pretty cool but do they have to release the game for a third time (to my knowledge) to introduce them?

well this should be fun since it will be next gen. We need some fighters on next gen since Killer instinct is too easy and boring
