Double
Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Announce Trailer, Coming Summer
2023
|
|
|
|
 We
don't always cover beat-em-up games... but the legendary Double
Dragon series has roots in the origins of the fighting genre
dating back to 1987. Today, publisher Modus Games and developer Secret Base announced
"Double
Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons" is coming in Summer 2023 to
PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The
2D sprite-based title features co-op Tag Team gameplay and 13 unlockable
playable characters. Below, watch the Announce Trailer and also
check out the first official poster artwork and screenshots
for the upcoming beat-em-up title.

Arc
System Works licensed the intellectual property to Modus Games for the new
title. The game's storyline is as follows: "New York City in the year
199X: the city has been devastated by nuclear war. Its citizens fight for
survival as riots, crime, and chaos flood the streets. Criminal gangs
terrorize what remains as they vie for dominance. Unwilling to endure
these conditions any longer, young Billy and Jimmy Lee take it upon
themselves to reclaim their city."
In Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, players earn
"cash" by performing a Special KO on opponents. Additionally,
health boosts can be activated by performing "Crowd Control" moves —
which beat-em-up fans will immediately be familiar with. Players can spend
their cash
at the end of each stage to buy character upgrades.
Playable characters who appear in the announce trailer include Billy,
Jimmy, Marian,
and Uncle Matin. It's also highly likely that Abubo
(teased at the very end of the trailer) will be one of the 13
playable characters, in addition to being an opponent and/or boss.

Fighting games based
on the iconic beat-em-up series include Double
Dragon (1995) which was published by SNK and developed by
Technos, as well as Rage
of the Dragons (2002), published by SNK Playmore and
developed by BrezzaSoft, Noise Factory, and Evoga
Entertainment. Stay tuned on Fighters Generation
for continued coverage.
