Double Dragon Revive promises a refresh of the venerable beat 'em up in 2025
"Double Dragon Revive" by Yuke's and Arc System Works, updates the classic beat 'em up for 2025 with modern graphics and controls.
Double Dragon Revive is scheduled for release in 2025, bringing a fresh take on the classic beat 'em up series. Developed by Yuke’s, a studio recognized for their work on WWE games, and published by Arc System Works, the new game will feature updated 3D models over the original sprites and revisits some iconic locations and enemies from the earlier titles.
The developers aim to keep the essence of the classic gameplay by offering simple and intuitive controls refined for modern gamers. The game’s teaser trailer highlights familiar elements such as punching enemies, uppercutting enemies with martial fury, and humorous combat scenarios like pushing foes into dumpsters or refrigerators.
Double Dragon Revive follows the recent release of Double Dragon Gaiden, a roguelike spinoff from Secret Base that was well-received for its tag-in mechanics. Fans can anticipate the new title on platforms like Steam and Arc System Works’ website, as announced by Jonathan Bolding on July 15, 2024.
