Double Dragon has been a classic since its birth in the late eighties for arcade machines, which led it to go down in history as one of the most iconic Beat ’em Up games in the video game industry. Now, thanks to Arc System Works, it will make the jump to 3D with Double Dragon Revive.
Double Dragon Revive is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC in 2025. The game is being developed by Yuke’s, a studio with extensive experience in fighting games, especially WWE. In fact, they were in charge of the series from 2000 (when it was still known as WWF) until 2019. After abandoning the development of WWE 2K20, they focused on this new project, AEW Fight Forever.
Arc System Works acquired the Double Dragon IP in 2015 and later released Double Dragon 4, a true sequel created with the help of the developers of the original games, including director Kishimoto Yoshihisa.
This publisher was a perfect fit for the franchise thanks to its long history of publishing fighting games such as the Guilty Gear series, DNF Duel, Undernight In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] and else.

“The Double Dragon series has defined the side-scrolling action genre since it hit arcades in 1987,” reads a synopsis. “Now it returns as Double Dragon Revive, thanks to the passionate support of retro gaming fans over the years!”
