The game celebrates the franchise's 30th anniversary. The story will begin after the elimination of the Shadow Warriors in 1988's Double Dragon II: The Revenge. Arc System Works describes the game:
Billy and Jimmy Lee are back and they've brought the 80's with them except the battlefield has moved to Japan!
Kakaomi Kaneko is producing the game, Yoshihisa Kishimoto is directing, Koji Ogata is designing the characters, Kazunaka Yamane is composing the music, and Kei Oyama is programming.
Arc System Works announced last year that it had acquired the rights to Double Dragon and a number of other Technos Japan games.
