New Streets of Rage 4 trailer reveals unlockable characters and soundtracks from the past

A new element of Streets of Rage 4 has been revealed in a trailer issued by DotEmu today.

In the game, players can access tributes to previous entries in the series, including “unlockable pixel art characters with movesets and abilities unique to their respective games”. The original Streets of Rage 1 and 2 soundtracks will also be available.

Here’s some additional information:

Streets of Rage’s fighters can call the cops for their special moves, while Streets of Rage 3’s characters can sprint and roll through environments. Catch Skate, Max, and all the throwback warriors making their glorious return!

These retro characters combine with Streets of Rage 4’s five hand-animated leading fighters to bring the total playable roster’s count to 17. For a full nostalgic trip, players can also switch to the series iconic original soundtrack, handing out beatdowns backed by tracks from Streets of Rage 1 and Streets of Rage 2. Taking down thugs with these timeless songs cranked up makes for an incredibly satisfying retro experience.
