A new trailer with gameplay scenes from Streets of Rage 4 was recently released. Unfortunately, the platforms on which the game will launch and its release date have not yet been announced.
According to DotEmu, the company responsible for the game:
The clip begins with our dear friends Axel and Blaze reunited and handing out punches—with new moves—to a fresh group of ill-intentioned criminals at full force. The vibrant look of Streets of Rage 4, courtesy of the team behind 2017’s incredible Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake, brings the game’s troubled city to life with a fluid and exaggerated style. The hand-drawn animation in the game adds an explosion of talent to every blow, covering the bold aesthetic refined by the original trilogy.Streets of Rage 4 is the first title in the main series in more than two decades and will revitalize the iconic ‘baddie-bashing’ gameplay with modern touches, new moves, and more surprises yet to be revealed. The team behind Streets of Rage 4 is drawing inspiration from brawler games for new fans and to remind veterans why Streets of Rage is one of SEGA’s most beloved series.
The New Streets of Rage 4 Trailer
For those unfamiliar with it, Streets of Rage is a beat ’em up franchise from SEGA that was very successful in the 1990s because of its technical quality. Initially created as a “response” to Capcom’s Final Fight series, it even ended up overshadowing its competitor. After many years of waiting, with no new game in the series since Streets of Rage 3 was released for the Mega Drive in 1994, fans will finally be able to clear the streets of criminal syndicates once again.
