Streets of Rage 4 Revealed by Dotemu

Written by Brandon Hofer on August 27, 2018

News: A new entry in the Streets of Rage franchise is currently being developed, although we don’t know a release date or platforms.

Streets of Rage 4 is headed your way thanks to publisher Dotemu and developers Lizardcube and Guard Crush Games. Streets of Rage 4 will be a continuation of Sega’s iconic arcade brawler series known for its “radical fights, jammin’ ‘90s beats and dashing sparring gloves and bandanas.”

Streets of Rage 4 will feature hand-drawn visuals from the team behind 2017’s Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake. It will also build upon the classic trilogy’s gameplay with new mechanics, a fresh story and a gauntlet of dangerous stages that have serious crime problems. Streets of Rage 4 will recall the classic gameplay from the series, however, it stands as an entirely original arcade-style romp.

We don’t know what the release date is yet and no platforms have been revealed. One has to assume it will at least be on all three consoles but, again, that is just an assumption for right now. Check out the trailer below that was released to accompany this announcement and tell us what you think. Are you excited to see Streets of Rage returning? Will you pick up Streets of Rage 4 when it is released?
