What's Streets of Rage 4 about?
Like many games in the early 90s, the Streets of Rage series was a side-scrolling beat-em-ep in which the player fights against waves of enemies using combos and special attacks. Streets of Rage 4 will follow on from the third instalment, in which police officer Blaze Fielding, detective Axel Stone and rollerblader Eddie Hunter took on crime boss Mr X and his army of robots.
Blaze Fielding and Axel Stone are both confirmed to return for this reboot, as well as original character Adam Hunter and his new teenage daughter Cherry Hunter. Trailers have shown that the gameplay will be similar to the original - retaining the now rare 2D side-scrolling camera - and fan-favourite composers Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima are returning for the soundtrack.
Is there a trailer?
Yes - prepare for some 90s nostalgia:
