Streets of Rage 4 is the first mainline series entry in more than 25 years, adding depth to its classic combat and new playable fighters in a revitalisation of the iconic beat ‘em up games. Featuring strikingly stylistic hand-drawn animation recalling the preceding trilogy’s gritty soul and original music from series composers Yūzō Koshiro (Streets of Rage 1, 2, & 3, Sonic the Hedgehog), Motohiro Kawashima (Streets of Rage 2 & 3, Shinobi II), and an all-star lineup of contributing guest musicians, Streets of Rage 4 pays tribute to the franchise’s legacy while leaving its own distinctive impact on the brawler genre.
