SEGA rejected Streets of Rage 4 prototype nearly ten years ago

There could have been a Streets of Rage 4. Series composer Yuzo Koshiro told Destructoid at MAGFest 11 this weekend that he was contacted about the project about ten years ago. The team made a prototype soon after, but SEGA rejected the title.

Even though fans haven’t seen a new Streets of Rage title in many, many years, there have been a few attempts to revive the series. Most recently, a behind-the-scenes prototype remake from Ruffian Games was outed.
