Dead or Alive 5 Last Round was launched back in March for PC, but it lacked the online multiplayer mode. Developer Team Ninja said at the time that the mode will be available by the end of June. With June now over the online mode is still unavailable.

Online multiplayer is currently undergoing beta testing, but "major issues" were discovered during this period, Team Ninja said in a blog post. As a result, an update to the game that will add online play has been delayed indefinitely.

"We apologize for the last minute notification and regret deeply the trouble we have caused our Steam customers who were looking forward to the online functionality," Team Ninja said. "We will update the website with a new release date as soon as it is set."

Team Ninja also published step-by-step instructions for how to revert back to the offline-only version.

"We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding," the developer said.
