The mean streets of New York are about to get even meaner. Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is beefing up its roster with two new playable characters, Jeff and Abore, in a free DLC pack set to drop this April. This isn’t just a minor update; it’s a significant expansion, marking the first of several planned character additions, with six more fighters slated to join the fray later this year.
To celebrate this surge of street-fighting fury, Maximum Entertainment and Secret Base are offering a 60% discount on Double Dragon Gaiden for PC and Nintendo Switch. If you’ve been itching to dive into this dynamic side-scrolling brawler, now’s your chance.
Double Dragon Gaiden revitalizes the classic beat ’em up formula, bringing back the iconic Billy and Jimmy Lee while introducing a fresh cast of allies. Players can unleash devastating combos, master unique special moves, and tag-team their way through the city’s criminal underworld. The game’s tag-team system allows for strategic cooperative play, elevating the action to new heights.
So, who are these new brawlers joining the fight? Jeff, a childhood rival of the Lee brothers, brings a volatile mix of Karate and Sōsetsuken to the table. Driven by jealousy, Jeff abandoned his noble path, forging a dangerous, unpredictable fighting style. Then there’s Abore, a hulking ex-soldier with a stoic demeanor. His raw power and unwavering calm make him a force to be reckoned with. Some even question his humanity, but Abore’s silence speaks volumes, delivered through crushing blows.
This free DLC expands an already robust game. Double Dragon Gaiden boasts seamless, fast-paced tag-team action, a wide array of devastating combos, and two-player local co-op. Unlockable upgrades add layers of customization, allowing players to tailor their fighting style.
Whether you’re a seasoned Double Dragon veteran or a newcomer to the series, this DLC offers a compelling reason to jump into the action. With more characters on the horizon, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is shaping up to be a must-have for beat ’em up fans.
Join the fight on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 today, and prepare to download the free DLC next month.
