Streets of Rage 2 is the greatest beat ’em up ever created by man. It’s so good that I’ve spent the years since its releasing trying to find a better example of the genre to no avail. So it’s safe to say I am excited about the upcoming release of Streets of Rage 4!
Lizardcube is co-developing the game and feature in a newly released trailer talking about the art direction you can expect in the upcoming title. This is a team that while many people don’t know, make some incredible art and helped to bring Monster Boy and the Dragon’s Trap back in a big way.
In fact, I wrote about that game and how amazing it looked, going as far as buying it outright, something I rarely do because I’m a poor reviewer with a mortgage.
There’s a lot of neat information in the video above, especially about how the team managed to dig up a scene in the design documents for Streets of Rage 2 of a car smashing into a wall during play. It’s a nice touch and shows the team is digging deep and really love this franchise.
Are you planning on picking up Street of Rage 4?
