Streets Of Rage 4 Release Date Announced
Streets of Rage 4, the long-awaited return for Sega's iconic beat-em-up series, is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on April 30. You'll be able to pick it up for $25 or via Xbox Game Pass.
Along with announcing the release date, developers Dotemu, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games also unveiled a new trailer showing off Streets of Rage 4's Battle Mode. The legacy mode--which is returning from Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3--lets you fight against friends in eight disparate arenas. Battle Mode is available for up to four players locally or two players online, whether you want to compete in a free-for-all brawl or partner up for some team-based action.
It's been 25 years since the franchise's last mainline entry. We got hands-on with the game back in 2018 and found it to be a nostalgic return to form for the classic series. Axel, Blaze, and Adam return along with a cast of new fighters and a striking hand-drawn art style. Olivier Derivière also delivers an original soundtrack, including contributions from series composers Yūzō Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima.
