Leak: Streets of Rage 4 will receive an expansion that will bring back the old villain
Reddit user mikesaintjules discovered an unannounced extension page for the old-school action Streets of Rage 4 on SteamDB. Spoilers for the game are possible in the text.
Recall that in August 2020, Dotemu published in its microblog that Streets of Rage 4 will not remain without additional content, but since then, no new details have appeared.
Judging by the entry on the SteamDB website, the upcoming addon is called Mr. X Nightmare. It can be assumed that the DLC is dedicated to Mr. X – the main villain from the first installments of Streets of Rage.
As part of the main plot of Streets of Rage 4, the antagonist did not appear (his children were puffed up instead), but the battle with him from Streets of Rage 2 could be found secret level.
In what form will Mr. X return to Mr. X Nightmare – if this really happens – is unknown. The expansion page on SteamDB does not provide any further details.
Streets of Rage 4 was released in April 2020 for PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Since the release, sales of the game in digital services have exceeded 1.5 million copies in the four months.
In addition to ordinary gamers, the old-school action game was warmly received by journalists: on the Metacritic aggregator’s website, Streets of Rage 4 has 82 to 87 points, depending on the target platform.
