WayForward has a certain way of reviving such franchises so it’s awesome to see them re-imagine yet another arcade classic.
Double Dragon: Neon is a totally new game done in the retro style, but with modern features such as drop-in/drop-out online co-op (or bro-op). Needless to say, we’re excited!
The game will be revealed at PAX East and is scheduled for a summer release.
Read on.
Majesco Entertainment Company, an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, announced today that Double Dragon: Neon will be released as a full-scale digital game on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation Network this summer. Majesco Entertainment has once again partnered with WayForward, the award-winning team known for bringing franchise favorites including BloodRayne: Betrayal back to audiences in exciting new ways, and is thrilled for the fan-favorite developer to put its signature spin on the father of all brawlers: Double Dragon! Double Dragon: Neon isn?t a shoddy sequel ? it?s a face-melting 80?s tour de force! Featuring bodacious characters, gnarly combat, and a retro aesthetic, it?s pure over-the-top baditude?to the max!
?Double Dragon: Neon is far from a standard retro remake,? said Sean Velasco, Director, WayForward. ?It?s WayForward?s love letter to the decade that spawned the franchise – the music, the style, and culture of the 80?s pulse through the nucleus of Double Dragon: Neon. But don?t think this is a simple graphical facelift; with our innovative ?mix tape? level up system and power-up high-fives, we pushed it to the limit!?
Known for the beautiful aesthetics and renowned gameplay of A Boy and his Blob, Contra 4, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and BloodRayne: Betrayal, WayForward is applying its focused attention to detail on Double Dragon: Neon. Taking place in a hyper-saturated omniverse, players beat up baddies across earth and beyond against the Black Dragon Clan?s most nefarious leader yet– the supernatural scourge Skullmageddon. You could go it alone, but why wouldn?t you want to grab a buddy and take your game to the next level with drop-in, drop-out online ?Bro-Op’?!
Gamers will get a tempting glimpse of this fresh take on Double Dragon this week at PAX East where Double Dragon: Neon will be debuting a playable demo at the Reverb Booth (808).
Double Dragon: Neon on Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 and PlayStation?Network is expected to release this summer.
