Meet the New Fighters:
Evil Marian
Once a trusted ally, Marian is now under the grip of an unknown, malevolent force. Cold and distant, she floats above the ground, lashing out with psychic blasts and violent telekinesis. Her eyes are vacant, her voice devoid of emotion—something ancient has taken hold of her...and it's not letting go.
Super Anubis
For years, whispers claimed Anubis was a fraud, a cult figure with no true power. But now, Super Anubis has emerged: levitating, glowing, and summoning dark forces beyond comprehension. The question lingers—was he a fake all along...or a prophet finally revealed?
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a dynamic side-scrolling action brawler that brings the iconic Billy and Jimmy Lee back into action, joined by new allies to combat the criminal underworld of New York City. Players can unleash devastating combos and special moves as they fight their way through the city, with unique playable characters and unlockable upgrades. In a fresh twist on the classic formula, select up to two characters to form a tag team for cooperative play!
Play today on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation® 5, and PlayStation® 4 today, and download the brand-new DLC now. Find Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons today on your preferred platform: DoubleDragonGaiden.com.
