Double Dragon Revive provides a modern belt-scroll action experience with exhilarating gameplay making full use of Arc System Works’ experience with fighting game development.

The Double Dragon series has defined the belt-scroll action genre ever since it hit the arcades in 1987. Now it returns as Double Dragon Revive, thanks to the passionate support of retro game fans over the years!

See your favorites from the golden age of arcades recreated in modern 3D graphics. Powerful foes from their past return to face off against the Lee brothers.

The player traverses the screen horizontally to take down enemies in this beloved genre. Supervised by staff with experience on Arc System Works fighting game titles. Experience the core belt-scroll action gameplay, with controls and balance refined for the modern era.


Arc System Works unveiled two new playable characters coming to Double Dragon Revive, Marian and Yagyu Ranzo.

Both new characters bring unique styles and special moves for players to experience. The intelligent Marian steps out of her role as the heroine to cause a commotion on the battlefield alongside the Lee Brothers with her Sosetsuken techniques and relentless attacks. She also lives in the slums with the Lee brothers, operating a bar adjacent to the dojo her father left behind. Additionally, the mysterious ninja Yagyu Ranzo joins to stand against the Shadow Warriors gang and their evil ambitions. As an opponent to the Lee Brothers, the stoic Yagyu Ranzo descends from the Yagyu family, protectors of the Dragon Vein, and has mastered the art of ninjutsu in his training.

The combat requires adaptation and variety, more than a simple button-masher. Delve into the strategy by learning enemy patterns and finding the most effective attack timings. Picking up weapons scattered throughout the stages and using the area gimmicks feels intuitive even for new players.

Double Dragon Revive is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) in 2025.
