Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons release date set for July, new trailer

A final release date has come in for Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. Today, Modus Games and Secret Base confirmed its availability for July 27, 2023.

It’s a quick turnaround between announcement and launch. We only just found out about the game earlier in May, but it’ll be out in just a couple of months.

Here’s an official overview of the game:

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons recalls the series’ classic aesthetic with refreshed pixel art visuals, sporting updated-yet-faithful appearances for both returning heroes and villains and a stirring soundtrack which keeps players ready for the next fight. With unlockable bonuses, adjustable difficulty levels and optional permadeath and infinite modes, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a robust revitalization of the series’ signature side scrolling action. With two-player local co-op, the action quadruples as you and a friend clean up the mean streets of NYC. Online co-op is planned as a post-launch update later this year.
