Raidou, who last appeared in Dead or Alive: Dimensions for 3DS and before that in Dead or Alive 1 Ultimate for the original Xbox, will return as a playable character in Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, Koei Tecmo announced.
Here’s Koei Tecmo’s official description:
Presumed dead after being defeated in the original DOA Tournament, Raidou was partially reconstructed with cybernetics and now returns as a half-mechanized killing machine. Having lost his memory as a side effect of his cybernetic upgrades, all that remains is his unquenchable thirst for power, and his willingness to use whatever brutal methods it takes to achieve glory.
Hailing from the same ninja clan as Kasumi and Hayate, Raidou was exiled from his own village when his brutal thirst for power went too far, only deepening his hatred of the clan. His fighting style is Mugen Tenshin Ninjutsu at its core, and he even possesses the ability to recognize and imitate the moves of opponents he has encountered, while keeping original techniques up his sleeve.
New screenshots and footage show Raidou in battle against Hayabusa and Hayate in the Danger Zone stage, as well as characters Kasumi, Phase 4, Tina, Mila, and Alpha-152 wearing brand new costumes.
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on February 17 in North America and February 20 in Europe.
