Arc System Works has confirmed that Double Dragon Revive will now also see release on Nintendo Switch.
Developer Yuke’s is behind this action-packed game, which promises “modern belt-scroll action and exhilarating gameplay” and stars Billy and Jimmy Lee as they are confronted with powerful foes from their past.
Set 15 years after the end of a nuclear war, those who managed to survive have built colonies in various parts of the devastated world. However, the concept of a country has been lost, and the powerful people who govern the colonies now control the politics and laws.
One colony established on the coast is a city ruled by the Shadow Warriors gang, and since seizing control, the gap between rich and poor in the colony has intensified. The people living in the slums have been forced to live a hard life, and there are constant rumours of mysterious disappearances…
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Renewed, stylish character graphics: See your favourites from the golden age of arcades recreated in modern 3D graphics. Powerful foes from their past return to face off against the Lee brothers.
- The ultimate belt-scroll action experience: The player traverses the screen horizontally to take down enemies in this beloved genre. Experience the same simple and intuitive gameplay, with controls and balance refined for the modern era. The carefully crafted experience, supervised by staff with experience on Arc System Works fighting game titles, makes it easy for new players to get engrossed right away.
- Thrilling, strategic action: The combat requires adaptation and variety, more than a simple button-masher. Delve into the strategy by learning enemy patterns and finding the most effective attack timings. Pick up weapons scattered throughout the stages and make the most of the area gimmicks to seize the upper hand in battle!
Double Dragon Revive will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 23 October 2025.
