Streets of Rage 4 will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam this spring, publisher Dotemu announced.

A newly released trailer introduces final playable character Floyd Iraia, as well as the game’s two-player online and four-player offline multiplayer support.

Here is an overview of the character, via Dotemu:

Meet Floyd Iraia, the last Streets of Rage 4 playable character, who dishes out serious damage with his incredibly strong cybernetic arms. Although Floyd’s movement and health recovery are slower than most, he boasts the longest reach among the playable roster and tremendous power, ensuring any combo he puts an enemy through will be devastating.

Gematsu

Damn beaten but this is a much better post than I would have done.

4 Player Co Op

Happy we got another Wrestler character! Cyborg looks cool.

 

[kunonabi]

Looks better than guitar girl and fat Axel but still kind of dull.

 

[MasterDerico]

Jax?
I was waiting YEARS for this sequel, and a rip-off character is a no-no for me.

4 chars are awesome, but him.

Still day 1 for me, one of my most anticipated game of the year.

 

[Orta]

My testicles are quite literally ready to EXPLODE!

 

[Tesseract]

My testicles are quite literally ready to EXPLODE!

same, gimme da fooking game

 

[Klart]

Spring! Excellent! Can't wait!

 

[Pidull]

Really digging the trailer music, high hopes for this game!

 

[Mista]

 

[Wonko_C]

Please let the online be 4 player too.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Will meatball hakabusi return?

 

[dilbag]

Please let the online be 4 player too.

Yes please have online co op as well!!!!

 

[Saber]

So we finally got some kind of date? About time.

This new character sounds alright to me. Hope the game delivers.

 

[iconmaster]

Please let the online be 4 player too.

The music is sounding good.

 

[Pejo]

I still hate the art/character designs, but I'll give it a shot if the gameplay is good. From what I can see in the video, it looks like a pretty decent-sized moveset at least.

 

[SALMORE]

The New character looks like a mix of Max & Zan !!

 

[Belmonte]

Nice, a grappler! I'm not much into this kind of character but it is good to have one for variety's sake.

 

[Vitter.]

Looking GREAT! On Switch will rule to play 4 players

 

[cireza]

This is UMK3 Jax with the Gotcha special attack.

 

[Fake]

Bye Axel. Hello Floyd. For now I gonna call you 'Mess'.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

Looks great and fun.

 

[RAIDEN1]

2 big questions this game will have to answer: How much better will it be to Streets of Rage 3, and how does it compare to the un-official reboot from more than a decade back...which is of the quality that would make Sega proud...

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

I'm very weirded out by this game. I don't know what to feel. And I'm not sure about the XXXXwave music they've chosen for the trailer, but then again the original can't be beat soo.... I'm keeping an eye out, might be down for this: the last beat'em'up I played was castle crashers back then (fun game!).

 

[Hulk_Smash]

Just a question of which system to buy this for: The Switch (but crappy controllers) or PC (but no portability). Choices, choices...

 

[SALMORE]

on 0:11 you can see Floyd using linn Kurosawas charge special move from Aliens Vs. Predator

 

[Punished Miku]

Well that's my main.

 

[EightBit Man]

Looks good, and much better than the earlier builds. But...still would've preferred the game being made by Sonic Mania's developers in their Retro Engine.

 

[waltyftmus Prime]

Looks amazing, cant wait to play this, and at 0:18 is the Npc fighing another Npc ?

 

[Tygeezy]

Just a question of which system to buy this for: The Switch (but crappy controllers) or PC (but no portability). Choices, choices...

I'm probably going to double dip with this one on pc and switch.

 

[Hulk_Smash]

I'm probably going to double dip with this one on pc and switch.

Duuude... I might too. If it's good that is...

 

[lame gag1990]

Ugh. Fat Jax is kind of a let down. I wanted a wrestler in the roster. I wanted Max. The new characters are pretty disappointing.

 

[SleepDoctor]

4 player coop, exactly what i asked for.

Definitely day one and probably double dip.

 

[RAIDEN1]

Ugh. Fat Jax is kind of a let down. I wanted a wrestler in the roster. I wanted Max. The new characters are pretty disappointing.

Exactly what I thought...full marks for originality not!

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Horrible. No suplex or backbreaker. Bring back Max.

 

[Orta]

Adam has bigger tits than Blaze...

 

[Enjay]

Everything that's been made original for this game is absolute shit. The flash animation art style, the new characters, the new redesigns. The only thing that has people interested is the name.

Calling it now: it will get delayed.

 

[Ristifer]

Adam has bigger tits than Blaze...

They're all pretty built in the chesticles department.

I can't wait to play this game.

 

[12Goblins]

They got legit devs behind this, can't wait

 

[Xenon]

Both Boy and Girl Names - Baby Name Iraia
What does the name Iraia mean? The meaning of the name “Iraia” is: “God wrestler”. ... The name Iraia is in the following categories: Maori Names, New Zealand Names, Pacific Islander Names, Polynesian Names, Unisex Names.

Interesting. I wish he had super wrestling moves instead of mega man arms. What's with the new characters all needing gadgets

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I would have made it Max, they made it Jax

As long as he says " POWER UP!" it's all good

 

[lock2k]

Ugh. Fat Jax is kind of a let down. I wanted a wrestler in the roster. I wanted Max. The new characters are pretty disappointing.

I don't know why but whenever a fighting game from yesteryear gets a new release, or a beat-em-up, they always come up with some lame-ass Poochie-kind of characters.

Street Fighter has some lame-ass shit characters like El Fuerte and that oiled idiot which I forgot the name. SFV has shit-tier characters like Rashid and Necalli and that tall Choi Bunge clone. MK has the Kombat kids and stupid characters like Geras (a lame supernatural DC Cyborg clone) and Kronika who looks like cross dressing 1996 Billy Corgan.

Now Streets of Rage has the shitty ass girl with a guitar and a Max/Jax hybrid and he also says gotcha. How original. It's Itchy, Scratchy and Poochie all over again.

Lol no.

Have you even watched their videos?

They are going to nail the gameplay which is of the utmost importance.

The soundtrack is going to be fantastic just like the originals. The bits they let us hear are great already.

Lizardcube did an amazing job on Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, they will do the same here.

And they just narrowed their release date from first half of 2020 to spring 2020 after working on this game for several years.

I can understand the specific new style & characters can not be to everyone's liking, but the artistic level is high.

 

[Labolas]

Definitely playing Blaze and Adam

 

[GreatnessRD]

Another game where my heart and soul is ready. I can't wait! Childhood was litty. These kids today could never! Well, they can, with 4 but still!

 

[Mista]

Remember when people complained about the games approach when it was first announced? Everything changed now.

 

[Hotspurr]

Music is fantastic.
Everything else looks top notch. Looking forward to this! Hopefully it has a meaty campaign.

 

[molasar]

Remember when people complained about the games approach when it was first announced? Everything changed now.

Have those complainers changed their mind? I am still not impressed by its visual style, but who knows perhaps its playability is very good. It has to be checked personally.

Most that I know yes. I also agree that it has to be checked personally

 

[GamingKaiju]

Not the biggest fan of the art style but it's Streets of Rage Streets of Friggin Rage BABY!!!!!!!!!

 

[SegaShack]

Remember when people complained about the games approach when it was first announced? Everything changed now.

I am still not happy at all with how the game looks or sounds. Not sure how it plays yet, but it looks like a bad 2008 2.5D revival and not like SoR.
