The long-running Kunio-kun/ River City series will see another entry with the official announcement of River City Girls. Taking the role of Kyoko and Misako, the two tough-as-nails high schoolers battle their way through six regions of River City to rescue their boyfriends and longtime franchise mainstays, Kunio and Riki.

WayForward aren’t strangers to brawler beat’em ups. In 2012, they previously developed Double Dragon Neon for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Windows, a very well done celebration of the franchise, as well as a fun tongue-in-cheek jab at a lot of its quirkier elements. River City Girls will feature new pixel art, animated and manga style cut scenes, and an EXP-based skill tier system to unlock new attacks, parameters, and abilities as you progress. And music produced by NateWantsToBattle, Chipzel, Christina Vee, and Megan McDuffee.

River City Girls kicks down doors September 5th and is for the Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.
