DoubleDragon Revive (PS5)

Overview

Few franchises have left as deep a mark on gaming history as Double Dragon. Since its 1987 arcade debut, the series virtually defined the belt-scroll action genre — and now it makes a triumphant return on PlayStation 5 with DoubleDragon Revive, published by Arc System Works. This is not a simple remaster; it's a fully realized modern reimagining that honours the spirit of the original while delivering the depth and polish today's players expect. Available as a physical disc for PS5, Double Dragon Revive is ready to brawl right out of the box.
