Double Dragon IV (Japanese: ダブルドラゴン Ⅳ Hepburn: Daburu Doragon IV?) is a beat 'em up video game in the Double Dragon series for PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows.
In addition to a story mode, the game includes a two-player duel mode and a tower battle mode. Enemies and bosses as well as hidden characters can be unlocked for Story and Duel modes through Tower Mode.
After the defeat of the Black Warriors in Double Dragon II, Billy and Jimmy Lee look to spread their Sōsetsuken martial art by establishing dojos around the country. However, they soon face a new threat in a gang called the Renegades, who have teamed up with the Black Warriors to put an end to Billy and Jimmy once and for all.
Unlike earlier games in the series, this sequel is developed by Arc System Works, who bought the series rights in 2015. Several series developers continued to the project, including the original director, character designer, composer, and programmer with production led by Arc System Works designer Takaomi Kaneko. The game was announced in late December 2016 via a gameplay trailer. GameSpot had expected a graphical update, similar to Double Dragon Neon, but the new sequel's gameplay and graphics are more akin to the ports made for the Nintendo Entertainment System, with several character sprites taken directly from those titles, rather than the arcade original.
The game was released on January 30, 2017, for PlayStation 4 and January 31 for Microsoft Windows.
