Earlier in 2024 we reported that River City Girls 2 was due to receive a new DLC pack which adds classic Double Dragon characters to the playable character roster. Developer WayForward has now announced that the new DLC is available to purchase in the Americas and Europe, adding new playable characters and more to the Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox versions of the retro-inspired brawler. The pack is available to buy for $7.99 with the Steam version arriving soon.
The DLC pack brings legendary martial arts brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee out of the dojos and back into action on the mean streets of River City. Each Lee brother has a unique moveset that includes a bone-breaking arsenal of punches, kicks, throws, and special moves, including many inspired by the bros’ 35-plus-year career, such as the spinning cyclone kick, rising knee, hyper uppercut, diving jump kick, and more.
Both Lee brothers are also fully integrated into River City Girls 2’s story mode, with all-new cinematic portraits and dialogue from returning voice actors Dan Avidan and Arin Hanson of the Game Grumps. Furthermore, the DLC adds an epic new Double Dragon rap song performed by Hanson and Avidan, along with new dojo master Boro who performs sensei duties while Billy and Jimmy are out kickin’ yakuza butt.
In addition to the new premium content, a free update to River City Girls 2 is available for all players, providing a new Double Dragon-themed motion comic, a Double Dragon-inspired training dojo, the ability for all players to use the same character during online play, multiple colour palettes for each playable character, and two new shops with new items — the “Season’s Beatings” seasonal shop, which offers a new, exclusive accessory every two months, and the “Devil’s Candy” shop, a crossover with the popular webcomic of the same name. Miho, the “Season’s Beatings” proprietor, is voiced by beloved online creator Jaiden Dittfach.
