Streets of Rage 4 was one of last year’s surprise hits, both critically and commercially, and now the gorgeous brawler is coming back for a second round! The Mr. X Nightmare DLC adds new modes, moves, weapons, enemies, character customization, Mania+ difficulty, and perhaps most importantly, new playable characters! Today it was announced one of the additions will be Max Thunder, the street-brawling pro wrestler first seen in Streets of Rage 2. You can check out his moves, below.
As many expected, Streets of Rage 4 boss Estel Aguirre is also becoming a full playable character…
So, are you eager to return to the streets of Wood Oak City? Here’s the official description for the Mr. X. Nightmare DLC:
Developed by the Paris-based Dotemu and Lizardcube with the French-Canadian Guard Crush Games, Streets of Rage 4 is definitely worth your time if you haven’t jumped in yet. I found the game to be a quick, but tasty brawler throwback in my full review…
With this new DLC, get ready for:
- 3 new playable characters
- A new Survival mode with weekly challenges
- Character customization: build your own fighting style with new moves
- New weapons and enemies!
Streets of Rage 4 is available now on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch, and is playable via backward compatibility of Xbox Series X/S and PS5. An exact release date for the Mr. X Nightmare DLC has yet to be locked down, but it’s listed as “coming soon.”
