In related news from Tokyo Game Show 2017, Koei Tecmo has revealed that DLC support for Dead or Alive 5 will end this year. Since the original release in 2012, the game has been revised quite a few times and has received a magnitude of content updates. Now, producer Yosuke Hayashi wants to “focus on the future.”
