River City Girls 2 Double Dragon DLC release date set for November 12

Previously slated for the summer, a release date is officially in place for River City Girls 2‘s collaboration with Double Dragon. Billy and Jimmy Lee will make their way onto the mean streets as playable characters on November 12, 2024. 

The meat of the DLC is, of course, the ability to play as the hard-hitting protagonists of the Double Dragon series. Billy and Jimmy are totally unique fighters, bringing their own special moves to the fray. Players will be able to bust out Hurricane Kicks and Rising Knees as they make their way through the beat ’em up’s story mode.

As previously reported, Billy and Jimmy will also be fully voiced. In River City Girls 2, those voices belong to the Game Grumps themselves, Dan Avidan (Billy) and Arin Hanson (Jimmy). The two are also teaming up for a new vocal song featuring music by River City Girls composer Megan McDuffee. 

Brawlin’ boyz

Rounding it all out is the new dojo, Master Boro. As the screens and footage so far indicate, it looks like WayForward put in a lot of work to smoothly integrate the two worlds. Being one of the staples of the genre, it’s a no-brainer to throw Double Dragon into the mix wherever possible, but it’s nice to see it being done with the right amount of care and respect. Even if it all first emerged to the public as an April Fools’ gag! 

When it launches, players can dive into the River City Girls 2 Double Dragon DLC on all available platforms. Crack your knuckles and get ready to fire it up in just six days on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
