Streets Of Rage 4 brings the classic Sega brawler series out of retirement

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap

Boasting beautiful, hand-drawn animations and a re-orchestrated soundtrack, the cult classic returns with a unique blend of exploration, action, and adventure!

Christmas may have come early for us 90s Sega kids. French retro developer and publisher DotEmu (Windjammers 2) announced that they’re bringing back Sega’s classic brawler series. Fans of eating chicken-a-la-barrel, 2 Unlimited-inspired beats and whacking stereotypical 90s neon-haired punks with metal pipes have a lot to look forward to with Streets Of Rage 4.

It’s going to be a three-studio collaboration, without Sega’s involvement. DotEmu are taking lead, Lizardcube (Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap) are on art and relative unknowns Guard Crush Games on code. No platforms or release date have been announced yet, but I’d be surprised if this wasn’t PC-bound.
