Publisher and co-developer Dotemu, along with co-developers Lizardcube and Guard Crush Games, have shared new information about the music of Streets of Rage 4. Olivier Derivière, who handled soundtracks for A Plague Tale: Innocence, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Dying Light 2, and more, is serving as the game’s main composer. Other guest musicians are contributing as well.

Here’s some additional information about the soundtrack, including news that Hideki Naganuma will no longer be contributing because of “scheduling complications”:

Earlier this year, Limited Run Games announced that it would produce a physical version of Streets of Rage 4. More details were shared today.

Fans will be able to purchase a standard copy, but a “Classic Edition” is on the way as well. It includes the game in the standard case, a steelbook case, and a large Genesis clamshell that will fit both cases inside. A limited edition is also planned with extra goodies, though we won’t be hearing about it until later.
