Majesco Entertainment Company announced today that Double Dragon: Neon will be released as a full-scale digital game on Xbox LIVE Arcade and Playstation Network this summer. Majesco Entertainment has once again partnered with WayForward, who are best know for bringing BloodRayne: Betrayal back to audiences in exciting new ways, and is thrilled for the fan-favorite developer to put its signature spin on the father of all brawlers: Double Dragon.
“Double Dragon: Neon is far from a standard retro remake,†said Sean Velasco, Director, WayForward. “It’s WayForward’s love letter to the decade that spawned the franchise – the music, the style, and culture of the 80’s pulse through the nucleus of Double Dragon: Neon. But don’t think this is a simple graphical facelift; with our innovative ‘mix tape’ level up system and power-up high-fives, we pushed it to the limit!â€
Gamers will get a tempting glimpse of this fresh take on Double Dragon this week at PAX East where Double Dragon: Neon will be debuting a playable demo at the Reverb Booth.
