Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons release date announced
A release date for Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons has finally been unveiled today.
The title is slated for a July 27 release on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. Pre-orders for the game can be made here. The game can be wishlisted on Steam right now.
A synopsis for the game reads:
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.
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons gives players incredible, seamless tag team abilities and a multitude of strategies for devastating combos, defensive and offensive moves across the game’s 13 unique playable characters.
Series icons Billy and Jimmy Lee are joined by Marian, returning as a fully realized, firearm-wielding ranged fighter, and newcomer Uncle Matin, a riot-shield-wielding powerhouse. Tag in and out as the classic Lee duo or switch it up with different characters. With two-player local co-op, the action quadruples as you and a friend clean up the mean streets.
