Double Dragon 3D Title Announced by Arc System Works, Launches in 2025

The popular action-packed series Double Dragon is set for a revival, with a fresh installment slated for creation by Arc System Works. In the most recent edition of the Weekly Famitsu, the game developers unveiled that their new game would embrace a 3D model and be set for a 2025 launch. It will span various platforms such as Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

The forthcoming title will retain its signature side-scrolling combat style, albeit with revamped difficulty levels and control systems. It will also see the return of familiar faces, including Jimmy and Billy Lee, plus recurring antagonists like Roper and Abobo. Additional details about the title are yet to be announced, but gamers can expect more information in the upcoming months.

The latest installment from the Double Dragon series is the Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, introduced in 2023 by Secret Base as a spin-off. Although it initially lacked an online co-op mode, this feature was eventually included via the Sacred Reunion expansion in 2024, allowing duo gamers to select 13 different characters.
