Streets of Rage is a remake / reboot of the original Sega Genesis / Arcade brawler that was in development for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC by Grin, the same team behind titles such as Terminator Salvation, Wanted and the cancelled Wanted 2 and Final Fantasy Fortress. Nothing much is known about this game, apart that is was a download-only title. The project was halted because of Grin’s financial difficulties that eventually bankrupted the company. In the gallery below we can see some concept arts and screens from an early build.
It seems that another reboot of Streets of Rage was also in development by Ruffian Games (the team behind Crackdown 2), but there are not many more info about this unseen project, apart from a beta / tech demo video preserved below thanks to Huff Allium!

The art style they were choosing wasn’t looking too good but it would be interesting to see a SoR reboot. There is the great SoR Remake on the PC (which SEGA sued them :S) but surely was good to see a new blood on the series.

This is one of those remakes / reboots that you can’t tell if it would have done the series a favour or ruined it’s history…

It didn’t look good, but at least theres a new double dragon in development, I know that artist Falcoon I think if this was to continue it should be in a cel-shade to match the artist.

the new dragon is from wayforward, so i think that at least it will have some good ideas. I love wayfoward 2d games :)
