Arc System Works revealed new story details about Double Dragon Revive, a new action game coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam in 2025. In addition, the game’s talented soundtrack team was revealed, along with quotes from its members.
The story of Double Dragon Revive is set 15 years after the end of the nuclear war. People who survived the conflict have built colonies in this devastated world. The concept of a country is now lost, and powerful figures who govern the colonies now control politics and laws. One colony on the coast is a city ruled by the Shadow Warriors, a gang that has perpetuated the growing gap between the colony’s rich and poor. Moreover, rumors of mysterious disappearances are rampant.
The Lee brothers, who are masters of the Sosetsuken, live in a corner of the city along with childhood friend Marian. The story begins when younger brother Billy and his older brother, Jimmy, find the dojo they inherited in peril, due to the city’s evil schemes.
Double Dragon Revive’s soundtrack team includes RAITO, James Landino, furani, Kohta Takahashi, and Pejman Roozbeh. These talented composers shared quotes about their roles for the new game:
“Double Dragon came out when I was in elementary school, and it is a profoundly memorable game for me as I was once able to clear it with just one coin. It really is an honor to be involved in the making of this new title’s musical score. Please look forward to hearing it!” – RAITO
“As someone who has both been a fan of the Double Dragon series and Arc System Works projects, I’m beyond excited to be involved on the music for this game! Thank you to the development team for bringing me onboard this exciting soundtrack!” – James Landino
“I cannot believe I got to play a part in making such a cool game! It really, really has been an honor.” – furani
“First of all, I want to express all my respect to the music composer of the original game, Kazunaka Yamane! Some songs have a melodic and dramatic development, while others incorporate the stylish groove of the late 80s… We would really like to see if delivering these in a modern sound image will touch the listeners. I hope you all enjoy it!” – Kohta Takahashi
“Working on Double Dragon Revive has been an awesome experience and an honor. The game’s world and vibrant characters inspired me to write some very dynamic and funky tracks, and I can’t wait for players to experience them!” – Pejman Roozbeh (Funk Fiction)
Fans who want to try out the Double Dragon series can play Super Double Dragon and Double Dragon Advance now on all consoles. Additionally, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
Lastly, Double Dragon Revive releases in 2025 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. The game’s official website is now live, too.
