Just last week, Dotemu surprised fans of the Streets of Rage series by revealing that the latest entry in the long-running beat 'em up series, Streets of Rage 4, will be bringing with it some retro-looking pixel-art skins for all of the playable characters.
The developers of Streets of Rage 4 have already made it very clear that they have tried to make the game look and feel exactly like the classic Streets of Rage titles that released in the 80s and 90s, and they have succeeded at that with flying colours.
To top it all off, the developers also revealed that the music from the original Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 2 was also going to be added in Streets of Rage 4; cranking the nostalgia factor all the way up to eleven.
IGN has recently uploaded a gameplay video for Streets of Rage 4, which gives us a look at the pixel-art character skins in action while some head-banging tunes from Streets of Rage 2's phenomenal soundtrack. Now, all we need is an official release date for the game.
Check it out:
Featuring hand-drawn visuals from the team behind 2017’s gorgeous Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake, Streets of Rage 4 builds upon the classic trilogy’s gameplay with new mechanics, a fresh story and a gauntlet of dangerous stages with a serious crime problem.
Streets of Rage 4 will be available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One in Spring of 2020.
