Streets of Rage 4 receives Mr. X Nightmare launch trailer

Dotemu, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games have announced that the new Mr. X Nightmare DLC for Streets of Rage 4 is now live. It can be purchased on Switch for $7.99. A free update is also available for all players.

To recap, here’s what’s new:

Playable New Fighters: Introducing the playable debut of powerful officer Estel Aguirre, with the awaited return of fully realized playable versions of Max Thunder and Shiva, both beloved characters of Streets of Rage 2 & Streets of Rage 3.

Survival Mode: An inventive, immensely replayable challenge where fighters beat down endless waves of foes and earn perks for as long as they can stay alive. The Random version of this mode keeps each fight unpredictable through generated runs, and the Weekly version has a series of static gauntlets generated each week that keeps players on their toes as they brawl their way through the streets of rage and fight for the top spot. Each completed level offers a choice of randomized stackable perks to choose from.

New Moves: Braving Survival’s onslaughts also permanently unlocks new moves for use across any of Streets of Rage 4’s modes, allowing players to personalize movelists for their favorite characters. Even Retro characters now have new moves.

New Badass Weaponry: Progress unlocks devastating new weapons within the incoming training mode, as well as gallery content.

Leaderboards Show Who’s the Boss: The mode’s leaderboards keep track of the community’s well-fought runs too; who will be Wood Oak City’s finest fighter?

New Tunes: Keep groovin’ with original music from Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania, League of Legends).

And Wait, There’s Even Moaaar: A separate free update adding an in-depth training system, color palette options, a fiendish New Mania+ difficulty, plus a wealth of refinements and balancing changes addressing feedback from Streets of Rage 4’s passionate community.

We have a new launch trailer as well:

Also note that Streets of Rage 4 is currently on sale. It’ll be 40 percent off on the Switch eShop until July 29. The DLC is also on sale for 15 percent off.
