Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

Based on that character select screen. Its pretty obvious that another VF character is coming.

Those random select boxes might be place holders.

The gist of everything:
-Download free version of DoA5U.
-Get Hayabusa, Kasumi, Ayane, Hayate for free.
-Can buy additional characters for 400 yen.
-DLC can be bought/transferred to free version.
-Character of the week periods where one character becomes free to play.
-Free version allows all costumes, stages, online and offline modes - except story - to be playable.
 
According to the interview, in the original DOA5 it was a toss up between Jacky and Pai on who would be brought in. Pai won out due to popularity.

In Ultimate, Jacky was brought in not simply due to his iconic status, but also because they wanted a character for players who've never played DOA5 before. They're hoping that Jacky attracts players who are new to DOA5 and/or fighters.

Momiji is being designed similar to the Ninjas but with unique quirks that are different from the traditional ninjas. Mainly, they're talking about her double-jump. And her Hayabusa-style Aiki ju-jitsu. They intend for her to be easy to get into/beginner friendly.

The new characters were largely selected from fan requests. A lot of players wanted Ein to return and they wanted Momiji in the game (no mention of Leon or anyone else), so that's why they're in Ultimate.

EDIT: Should mention that, according to the interview, AM2 was corresponding with Team Ninja on the development of Jacky for Ultimate. So it sounds like he'll be a bit more faithful to his move properties in DOA5.
