The Story

15 years have passed since the end of the nuclear war. People who managed to survive have built colonies in various parts of the devastated world and live there. However, over these 15 years, the concept of a country has been lost, and the powerful people who govern the colonies now control the politics and laws.

This colony established on the coast is also a city, ruled by some of these powerful people. A gang called the Shadow Warriors.Since they took control, the gap between rich and poor in the colony has intensified. People living in the slums have been forced to live a hard life, and there are constant rumors of mysterious disappearances.

The Lee brothers, masters of the Sosetsuken, live in a corner of such a city with their childhood friend Marian.

The honest younger brother Billy and the free-spirited older brother Jimmy.

When the Sosetsuken dojo they inherit ends in the way of the city's evil schemes, the story begins...


The team of amazing creators who created its captivating soundtrack!


RAITO "Double Dragon came out when I was in elementary school, and it is a profoundly memorable game for me as I was once able to clear it with just one coin. It really is an honor to be involved in the making of this new title's musical score. Please look forward to hearing it!"


James Landino "As someone who has both been a fan of the Double Dragon series and Arc System Works projects, I'm beyond excited to be involved on the music for this game! Thank you to the development team for bringing me onboard this exciting soundtrack!"


furani "I cannot believe I got to play a part in making such a cool game! It really, really has been an honor."
Kohta Takahashi "First of all, I want to express all my respect to the music composer of the original game, Kazunaka Yamane! Some songs have a melodic and dramatic development, while others incorporate the stylish groove of the late 80s... We would really like to see if delivering these in a modern sound image will touch the listeners. I hope you all enjoy it!"


Pejman Roozbeh (Funk Fiction) "Working on Double Dragon Revive has been an awesome experience and an honor. The game’s world and vibrant characters inspired me to write some very dynamic and funky tracks, and I can’t wait for players to experience them!"
