News: A new trailer showcasing some unannounced details for a new Double Dragon game has just been revealed ahead of next month’s launch.

Modus Games and Secret Base have released a new trailer for their upcoming title, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. This new trailer features some details on the tag team combat in the game along with a sneak peek at some unannounced playable characters.

Today’s overview trailer showcases the overwhelming power players will have in their hands as they unleash Special Moves after maxing out their SP Meter over the course of combat. Use these Special Moves to annihilate opponents and earn cash to upgrade their characters’ skills. Or use any remaining currency at the end of a playthrough to unlock an array of special collectibles, including additional playable characters with their own movesets, strengths and weaknesses.

Set in the nuclear wasteland of New York City during the year 199X, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons features a showdown between the iconic Double Dragon brothers, Billy and Jimmy Lee, and their allies against the criminal gangs terrorizing the city for dominance. Defeat one gang and the others will seize the opportunity to grab more power for themselves by enhancing their own abilities and bringing in new sub-bosses to take players down. To combat this, fighters have a multitude of resources in their hands, including:

Seamless tag-team action.

A multitude of devastating combos, defensive and offensive moves across the game’s 13 unique playable characters.

Powerful abilities from series icons Billy and Jimmy Lee alongside Marian, returning as a fully realized, firearm-wielding ranged fighter.

Newcomer Uncle Matin, a riot-shield-wielding powerhouse.

Two-player local co-op that quadruples the action with a friend.
