Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Adds Two New Characters with Free DLC Coming in April
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, developed by Secret Base and published by Maximum Entertainment, is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up available on PC and Nintendo Switch. Originally released in 2023, the game follows Billy and Jimmy Lee as they battle through a crime-ridden New York City alongside new allies. Players can execute powerful combos, unlock upgrades, and utilize a unique tag-team system for cooperative play. A free DLC pack arriving in April will introduce two new playable characters, with six more fighters planned later this year. To celebrate, the game is currently 60% off on PC and Nintendo Switch.
What We Can Expect
- Seamless, fast-paced tag-team action.
- A wide array of devastating combos and special moves across more than a dozen unique playable characters.
- Two-player local co-op that multiplies the action with a friend.
- Unlockable upgrades for even more power and customization.
My Thoughts
I forgot they did this! Oh my, it’s on sale! And I’ll still get the free DLC in April!
Were you a fan of the classic beat ’em up, Double Dragon, from the original Nintendo (and the arcade, of course)? This trailer and DLC is right up your alley, too! The graphics maintain the heartbeat of the original while upgrading enough to easily notice! Check out the trailer for Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons below and let me know if you either played it already OR if this gets you pumped for the DLC and game all over again!
