Team NINJA releases a new set of costumes for Dead or Alive 5 Last Round (DOA5LR) this week as reported earlier by Famitsu. What is not known until now is that a third Season Pass is also released at the same time. This costume set is the first pack from Season Pass 3, which also includes the new character releasing in March next year.
These designs are fan-submitted entries from various official costume contests held in the past. They were previously unused but are now specially selected by Team NINJA’s design team including the Art Director, hence the name “Design Award”. In Japanese, this costume pack is called “Designer Special Award”. You can see the original artworks below and final screenshots at the end of this post.
These costumes are available for 12 female and 4 male characters and for PS4/ Xbox One/ PC (Steam). Individual costume is priced at US$1.99 (¥206) and the bundle set of all 16 costumes is US$18.99 (¥2000). PC version is only sold in pack, not separately.
Also available starting today is Marie Rose Red Bull 5G “B” Costume to promote the DOA5LR Tournament Final in Japan this weekend (20 Dec). This outfit is slightly different from the “R” one given out during DOA Festival in August. The color of the wristbands and visor band is Blue instead of Red. Downloadable on PS4/ Xbox One for free until 12 Jan 2016 (PS4 version requires PS Plus subscription).
Next month, or rather next year starting in January, there will first be 2 free costumes for Kasumi and Ayane, again designed by Japanese Manga artist Tamiki Wakaki, releasing on 12 Jan (no images yet). This is to celebrate DOA5LR Core Fighters has reached 5 million downloads worldwide. Follow up will be Tatsunoko Pro Collaboration Costumes on 19 Jan, which is the second set from Season Pass 3.
P/S: Though there are new DLCs this month, Catalog 15 is still unaccounted for.
