Dead or Alive 7 is in development, and Dead or Alive 6 Last Round is on the way, too.
Koei Tecmo Games series producer Yosuka Hayashi appeared during the February 2026 State of Play presentation to give fans two major updates on the classic fighting game franchise. First up was the reveal that Dead or Alive 6 is being re-released for PS5 with new features, new characters, and more content in development, too. The big surprise, though, was a first look at the studio’s plans to celebrate the series’ 30th anniversary: Dead or Alive 7.
First footage of the currently untitled PS5 game was shown during the presentation and includes a look at Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa. It’s unclear when it will launch. While we wait for updates, you can check out everything announced during the February 2026 State of Play.
