One of my favorite gaming series, Double Dragon, has been on a roll lately. With Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons being a surprise hit that no one saw coming, the series is now getting a remake with the reveal of Double Dragon Revive. Announced by ArcSys and Yukes, Double Dragon Revive appears to be a remake of the original Double Dragon game, featuring Billy and Jimmy.
Watching the trailer, I can’t help but be reminded of the scrapped Streets of Rage 3D game that never saw the light of day, mixed with a bit of Final Fight Streetwise. We’ve never had a 3D Double Dragon game before, and I’m thrilled about this one because I absolutely love the Double Dragon series. Well, except for Double Dragon 4—that game was terrible and should be avoided at all costs.
Here’s what we know about the game according to the Steam page, which you should check out and wishlist the game.
