The release date for Streets Of Rage 4 is now set down and we have a new look at the Battle Mode coming with Streets Of Rage 4
There have been quite a few updates for Streets Of Rage 4 up to now and here we go with the release date for the game. Something that many of us have been waiting for so we can play it on the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and/or the PC. I guess it was something that Dotemu and Lizardcube have been holding off for. Now we know that Streets Of Rage 4 will be coming to us all on April 30th. Just before the end of the month but still, a nice little addition to have in the mix of sitting home and only playing video games right now. More so with one that can keep us all gaming together while staying a bit distant.
To go along with that announcement we also have a nice new trailer for Streets Of Rage 4 to see a bit more of the game to entice us to pick up the game. It does give us a bit more to see for the Battle Mode and other character skins we will have in the game too. Something to highlight what I was mentioning before with the multiplayer aspect of Streets Of Rage 4. All of which you can see down below as we wait for the final date to roll up on us in a few weeks now. It is weird to think about how fast that is coming up on us.
Streets Of Rage 4 — Battle Mode & Release Date
Publisher and co-developer Dotemu (publisher of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, developer of Windjammers 1 and 2) with co-developers Lizardcube (Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap) and Guard Crush Games (Streets Of Fury) proudly announced today that Streets Of Rage 4, the long-awaited return of SEGA’s iconic beat-em-up series, will hit PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One as well as Xbox Game Pass on April 30 for $24.99.
The news arrived alongside a trailer revealing the first look at Streets Of Rage 4’s Battle Mode, a legacy experience returning from Streets Of Rage 2 and 3. This feud-settling battleground is bound to help rivals recognize who truly is Wood Oak City’s finest alley-clearing ruffian, as well as settle grudges spurred by accidental friendly strikes during multiplayer sessions. Witness just a few of the ways champions will be able to dominate their allies by viewing the trailer above.
To keep their news combo going, Dotemu, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games have also detailed how they incorporated the recently announced pixel art characters and classic Streets Of Rage 1 and 2 soundtracks into Streets Of Rage 4 via a PlayStation Blog post. Learn the full story and why making the idea a series-spanning reality was so important to the team by reading the post in full here.
Streets Of Rage 4 is the franchise’s first mainline entry in more than 25 years, reuniting Axel, Blaze, and Adam while introducing fresh fighters and combat depth, an arrestingly fluid hand-drawn art style, and an all-new scenario as well as city boroughs to crack skulls in. With an original soundtrack from Olivier Derivière incorporating worldwide talent, including massive contributions from series composers Yūzō Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima, Streets Of Rage 4’s pairing of classic elements with distinctive modern direction makes this highly anticipated return the fight of a lifetime.
Did you expect to see Streets Of Rage 4 to drop on us as fast as it has here or did you think it would be further out? Are you glad to have a new title that will allow us to play more with our friends or will you go back to basic isolation in your games too? Does any of that matter and you will enjoy the Battle Mode no matter what is going on? Let us all know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all as you wish.
