[BLOG] Double Dragon IV Announced

Arc System Works have announced that a new installment for the retro beat 'em up series Double Dragon is being worked on and in fact is due out very, very soon. Acting as a direct sequel to Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stones, Double Dragon IV is done in a more 8-bit style that harkens back to the old school pixel art of the original NES game.



There's been a trailer released for it too:







The story is suitably 80s-esque. The brothers are attacked in the desert by a biker gang known as the Renegades and Billy's girlfriend is kidnapped and held hostage by the shadowy and mysterious Okada clan. The game will see Billy and Jimmy travelling across the world and beating up all they come across with both fist and foot.



The game will come with the expected and traditional local co-op game mode in which you can tag team the levels with your friend; but will also come with a 2-player competitive mode that sees the brother fighting each other, a Challenge Tower mode that lets to battle your way through levels of enemies to try and reach as high as you possibly can. Also during the Challenge Tower, you can unlock certain bosses from the story mode after you pass a certain point - with a secret boss available if you reach the top.



Double Dragon IV will be releasing at the end of the month, on January 30th. Check out the Steam page for more information.
