Fans of the
Streets of Rage series have been waiting for a new entry in the series pretty much since
Streets of Rage 3 released in the early 90s, and thanks to an association between publisher Dotemu and developers Guard Crush Games and Lizardcube — the studio behind the remaster
Wonder Boy: the Dragon's Trap — the long-awaited sequel is now a reality.
Streets of Rage 4 was initially slated to release at some point in 2019, but the developers deemed necessary to push the game's release back. While we still don't know exactly when it is that the game will finally become available, we do know that it will be at a yet-to-be-determined date in the first half of this year.
Now, what we do know for a fact, is that — and this is a news that hardcore fans of the series will definitely enjoy — Streets of Rage 4 will be getting a physical release thanks to Limited Run Games; more details about the physical release will be shared at a later date, however.
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 the first half of 2020.
