Many of us who are now adults have been playing Double Dragon on the legendary NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) console when we were kids. Contrary to what some people might believe, that iconic beat ’em up game series is not dead.
‘Double Dragon Gaiden’ is now in the works and will launch in late July for various consoles. The game keeps the retro nostalgic style of both graphics and gameplay, which means that anybody who’s a fan of the series will enjoy playing it.
‘Double Dragon Gaiden’ launches on July 27
There are only about two weeks more to wait until ‘Double Dragon Gaiden’ launches, and those willing to play it can use a variety of platforms for it. The game will work on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Linux, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Xbox One.
A new trailer of the game has now emerged to teach us a lot about the playable characters and the bosses. Feel free to watch it below:
Here’s what the game’s description via Steam tells us:
Prepare to throw down the Double Dragon way in this fresh addition to the iconic beat ‘em up franchise. It’s the year 199X, and nuclear war has devastated New York City leaving its citizens to fight for survival as riots and crime engulf the streets. The city has been overtaken by criminal gangs who terrorize its ruins as they fight for total dominance. Unwilling to endure these conditions any longer, young Billy and Jimmy Lee take it upon themselves to drive the gangs out of their city.
There will be plenty of ways to enjoy playing Double Dragon Gaiden, so there’s no use worrying that you will become bored. You can switch to a local co-op mode, for instance, as long as you feel like you want more from the virtual experience.
