This new release, titled Dead or Alive 6 Last Round, appears to be more than a simple port. The developer claims it has been “updated for the latest hardware,” which should translate to improved performance and visual fidelity on the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. For the dedicated community that has supported DOA6 since its launch, the biggest news is the data transfer feature. All your hard-earned costumes and save data from the standard edition of Dead or Alive 6 can reportedly be carried over.
Beyond the technical upgrades, Team NINJA is also adding new features to the game’s gallery mode. The announcement specifically mentions the ability to manipulate “character position” and “pose selection,” giving players more creative control for their virtual photography, a popular pastime in the fighting game community.
Based on the official announcement, here are the key features confirmed for this new version of the game.
- Upgraded performance for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S
- Ability to carry over save data from the original DEAD OR ALIVE 6
- Transfer of all previously purchased downloadable content costumes
- Transfer of premium tickets
- New gallery features including “character position” and “pose selection”
The ability to transfer save data and, more importantly, costly DLC, is a huge point of discussion for any re-release. Team NINJA’s decision to include this feature directly addresses a major concern for the existing player base. Many fans have been hoping for a current-gen update that would take advantage of the new hardware’s power, and this release seems poised to deliver on that. The addition of enhanced gallery features also shows an awareness of how players engage with the game beyond just the core fighting mechanics.
For die-hard Dead or Alive fans who have already invested time and money into the sixth entry, this seems like a must-have upgrade. The promise of carrying over all your content while getting a performance boost is the ideal way to re-release a game for a new console generation. For newcomers, this could be the perfect opportunity to jump in with what is shaping up to be the definitive version of the game, available on the Steam store and consoles this summer.
