You won’t have to wait much longer to return to the Streets of Rage, as the fourth game in the series finally has a release date – April 23. The date comes via an updated eShop listing in Europe and Australia.
Developed by DotEmu, the team behind the Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake, Streets of Rage 4 features returning characters, a few new faces, and the same side-scrolling beat ’em up gameplay that made the series so popular on the Sega Genesis.
We’ll be sure to update this article with more information as it comes in.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
