The boys are back in town and this time they’ve got an added dimension. Billy, Lee and the gang from the classic Double Dragon arcade series are being reimaged by Arc System Works and Yukes in to a 3d brawler, check out the trailer below.
The game is described as “more than a simple button-masher” so it sounds like you are going to have to learn some combos, “delve into the strategy by learning enemy patterns and finding the most effective attack timings” add Arc System Works,.
The game keeps the side scrolling element of the original, “This work faithfully reproduces the real thrill of the belt scrolling while adjusting the control feel and difficulty level to suit modern times,” reads the Famitsu article via Google Translate.
The last game in the main series was the fairly average Double Dragon IV, but there was a spin off, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragon, released last year that went for a cutesy pixel based aesthetic.
Double Dragon Revive -is due to launch in 2025 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
