Featuring hand-drawn visuals from the team behind 2017’s gorgeous Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake, Streets of Rage 4 builds upon the classic trilogy’s gameplay with new mechanics, a fresh story and a gauntlet of dangerous stages with a serious crime problem.

It was and all I can say is SEGA need to keep doing this let others use the IP.

Not keen at all on the art style but I hope it turns out to be good.

Aye, I'm with Jas in that the art style isn't sitting right with me either, but so long as it plays a treat and has a cracking soundtrack like its predecessors, then it won't bother me too much. Awesome to see SEGA reviving the series though, brilliant stuff.

The art style seems to match that of the developer's Wonderboy game. Awesome news none the less, it's something I didn't realise I wanted but really should have.

IGN showed off some new screenshots for Streets of Rage 4

I can't pinpoint exactly what's changed between the trailer and the .GIF on that linked article, but the art style of the game is growing on me and looks pretty good in motion. Maybe it's a higher resolution in the .GIF compared to the video? In any case, I'd forgot that this was coming out next year!

Good to see that things are bubbling away nicely with this. It's definitely one of my most anticipated games for 2019. 👍

Same here! It's been ages since I've played a new beat-em-up game - messing about with River City Ransom on the NES Online feature was fine and all, but nothing matches up to the Streets of Rage series in my eyes.
