A minor update was made to the Linux/macOS versions of Streets of Rage 4 today, with two changes:

- Update to FNA 21.12, mostly a Vulkan and SDL update
- A possible integrity issue was found in the last version's "bigfile", which could lead to multiplayer desyncs with the Windows version. The data should now be identical on all three operating systems. The hope is that this will fix Chinatown specifically.

Once again, thanks to everyone for their support!

A minor update was made to the Linux/macOS versions of Streets of Rage 4 today, to update to FNA 21.10. No other changes were made to the game in any way.

This update is mostly to work around an OpenGL driver bug for the Steam Deck, but it does carry some minor Vulkan improvements along with it. Unless you're on RDNA2 hardware this update should be virtually identical to the last.

Thank you for your continued support!

Greetings everyone,

Today is September 15 and it's already been TWO months since you're back on the streets of Wood Oak City with Mr. X Nightmare. Perfect timing for a Community Spotlight, isn’t it? And to get in the mood here is one of Tee Lopes' epic tracks.

First of all, a huge thank you for your feedback, your unfailing support, and all your love during this long journey. I know we keep telling you this, but without YOU, this DLC wouldn't have been possible, so thanks again! We genuinely hope this DLC meets your expectations… In any case, what we can tell you is that your creations (and your game scores) are far above ours.

Without further ado, it's time to give a proper shout-out to these talented folks! Please make sure to follow them and send them all your love.

Greetings folks,

I know, you've been waiting for it for so long... but the release date has finally been revealed! Streets of Rage 4 DLC ‘Mr. X Nightmare’ will be released on July 15, 2021 for $7.99! Will you be able to forgive us for making you wait for so long? We hope so, and we also hope that the following trailer will convince you that we made the right choice not to rush anything. Without further ado, we let you take a look at the Survival Mode just below:

How does the Survival Mode work?

Well, each time you complete a level in the Survival Mode, you can choose between two random perks. These perks grant stackable bonuses to boost your fighter in a unique and powerful way (of course those expire once you are defeated).

Furthermore, as you bravely fight through the many assaults in the Survival mode, you will permanently unlock new moves to use in any mode in Streets of Rage 4. Once unlocked, this will allow you to customize the movelists of your favorite characters any way you want. In addition to the new moves, in this new mode, you can also unlock devastating new weapons to use in both training and survival mode, as well as new gallery content.

There is also a Survival Mode leaderboard that allows you to keep an eye on all the community's fights... So who among you will be the best fighter in Wood Oak City?


Mr. X Nightmare DLC will include:

• Estel Aguirre, Max Thunder and Shiva
  
• Survival mode
  
• New moves and weapons
  
• New tracks by Tee Lopes

DLC will come along with a free update including:

• Difficulty level: Mania +
  
• In-depth training mode with tutorial
  
• New color palettes per character
  
• Refinements and balancing changes addressing feedback from Streets of Rage 4’s passionate community

The wait is almost over folks, please forgive us for the long wait, we can assure you that it was all worth it! We can’t wait for you all to play this DLC and give us your feedback.

Greetings folks,

Today, it's finally time for us to reveal the last character hiding in the shadows of Mr. X Nightmare DLC. This shadow is none other than a charismatic Kenpō master, whose time has come to repent. Ready to leave the Syndicate for good, Axel Stone's former rival is now determined to make a difference in Mr. X Nightmare.

Shiva joins forces with Estel and Max!

After being Mr. X's personal bodyguard and one of the most powerful members of the Syndicate, it's time for Shiva to find his way to redemption. This emblematic character of Streets of Rage joins the crew of Axel Stone, whose values are much closer to his faith. In Mr. X Nightmare, Shiva will use his fists, along with his new friends, to face the threat looming over Wood Oak City.


So, who will be your first ally in Mr. X Nightmare DLC? Shiva, Estel or Max?


We cannot thank you enough for your feedback and unconditional support for this upcoming DLC. We hope you enjoyed these latest announcements as much as we do. Keep in mind that we'll have more surprises in store for you in the near future. Until then, stay tuned!

Greetings everyone,

Today is Streets of Rage 4's first anniversary! We want to celebrate this special day with this Community Spotlight!

Streets of Rage 4 is a teamwork effort between Lizardcube, Guard Crush Games, Dotemu, the all-star line-up of composers, Sound designers, QA, Localization, PR, OST Producers, OST coordinators, and many other teams. We launched the game one year ago, we heard and took encouragements, your happiness but also your disappointments, critics, and feedback into account to shape the Streets of Rage 4 game and experience you deserved.

We are thankful to every single person (from the teams mentioned above and the community) who contributed to this amazing SOR4 journey since day one.

The game is nothing without its wonderful community of players, artists, musicians, speedrunners, creators, etc. Your support means the world to us and keeps motivating us to give the best of ourselves in the project and also in the upcoming DLC (Mr.X Nightmare).

Many of you wanted a release date today but as you know, we’d rather take our time to do things right than giving a release date and realize that we cannot honor our commitments. We believe that rushing things wouldn’t bring any satisfaction but would rather lead to frustration and disillusionment.

We’ve got many surprises in store for you with “Mr. X Nightmare” DLC: a new character reveal, gameplay videos to showcase the new characters movesets and modes (Survival and Training), and much more. We can’t wait to reveal all these things in the weeks ahead.

On behalf of the whole Streets of Rage 4 team, thank you for your everlasting and unfailing support! For today's community spotlight take a look at our community content selection and as usual, make sure to give a proper follow to all creators mentioned below.
