Double Dragon is coming back from Arc System Works with Double Dragon Revive

Due out for release in 2025, Double Dragon Revive is bringing the almighty classic beat 'em up back for modern audiences from Arc System Works. It's coming to Steam too, so you'll be able to play it on Linux / Steam Deck with Proton.

Originally a hit arcade game from the 80s that eventually made its way to other popular systems at the time, Arc System Works acquired the rights to Double Dragon, Super Dodge Ball and Kunio-kun (River City) from Million Co, Ltd way back in 2015 so this has been in the works for a while.
