Modder Adds Shenmue Characters to Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
Sega AM2’s Shenmue has long been regarded as one of the best video games of all time, spawning a sequel and a dedicated following who continue to pine for another installment in the open-world series. With their emphasis on precise combat, both titles found their fair share of crossover appeal with fans of the studio’s Virtua Fighter franchise, and now two of Shenmue’s most prominent characters have found their way to another 3D fighter.
Thanks to the efforts of modder Esppiral, main protagonist Ryo Hazuki and his father’s murderer Lan Di can be added to the PC version of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round as playable characters. At this point in time they merely reskin Jacky Bryant and Akira Yuki’s original models, meaning they don’t posses unique fighting styles, though that may expand as the modding community learns more about the game.
We’ve included a handful of screenshots of the Shenmue duo in Last Round below; the necessary files to spice up your own copy can be found in the original Reddit post.
