Wayforward provided announcements for two of their titles this morning, Clock Tower: Rewind and River City Girls 2. Firstly, Clock Tower: Rewind will release on October 29, 2024, in the West on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. This is ahead of the October 31, 2024 release in Japan, which Sunsoft is publishing.
Secondly, River City Girls 2 Double Dragon DLC will launch in Fall 2024. “This fall is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling and action-packed periods in WayForward’s history,” proclaims WayForward Tyrannical Overlord Voldi Way. “Just in time for spooky season, Clock Tower: Rewind will allow horror fans to finally experience an acclaimed 16-bit classic, and the new DLC for River City Girls 2 will bring the legendary Double Dragons, Billy and Jimmy Lee, back into the spotlight! That’s on top of the recent release of Yars Rising from Atari and the October 18 launch of RetroRealms Halloween and Ash vs. Evil Dead from Boss Team Games.”
The Double Dragon DLC, meanwhile, adds even more hard-hitting, bone-breaking, knuckle-busting action to fan-favorite open-world beat-’em-up River City Girls 2. No longer relegated to their previous roles as dojo masters, the iconic Double Dragon brothers, Billy and Jimmy Lee, are ready to kick yakuza butt as premium playable characters with unique movesets and full story integration featuring all-new dialogue by returning voice actors Dan Avidan (Billy) and Arin Hanson (Jimmy) of the Game Grumps.
Additionally, the DLC adds a new Double Dragon rap song performed by Hanson and Avidan (with music by series composer Megan McDuffee) plus new dojo master Boro, while a new free update to all players delivers a new Double Dragon themed motion comic, two new shops with new items (including the “Season’s Beatings” seasonal shop), playable character color palettes, and more.
River City Girls 2 is available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. River City Girls 2 is arguably the series at its most ambitious, with new characters, stages, enemies, and more to beat up. Further, an addictive RPG-like growth system and unlockables bolster the overall playtime.
