The girls are back in town
River City’s brawlers are back in action next week.River City Girls 2has locked in a North American and European launch date of December 15.
The latest beat ’em up from WayForward is set to arrive digitally on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC viaSteam.
The sequel to 2019’sRiver City Girlsstill follows Misako and Kyoko, as well as their boyfriends Kunio and Riki. Newcomers Marian (ofDouble Dragonfame) and Provie (fromRiver City Ransom: Underground) also join the cast, rounding it out to six playable characters. And they’ll need all that extra help to take on the Sanwakai syndicate that’s turning River City upside down.
River City Girls 2has already launched in Japan and Asia, but the western versionsaw a bit of a delay. Thankfully, it hasn’t taken too long for the brawler to get a launch date here.
Heading on down to River City
InRiver City Girls 2, players can take on up to four-player co-op with more characters, moves, enemies, and a larger world to explore. A big appeal ofRiver City Girls 2is online play. While the originalRiver City Girlsonly hadco-op in local play, the sequel will let players brawl through the levels together over the internet. That will doubtless make those hang-outs a little easier to organize.
WayForward is also teasing a nonlinear world and more RPG-like character growth for the brawlers. All that, alongside some serious vocal talent and a new OST from Megan McDuffee, seems like a major draw forRiver City Girls 2.
Me? I’m just ready to crack knuckles and bust heads in the streets of River City again.River City Girls 2seems well-set to deliver just that.
