Wayforward dropped some official character art, then followed that up with some screenshots of River City Girls 2 in action. Finally, Wayforward also confirmed that the Dragon Twins, Ryuichi and Ryuji, will reappear as villains.
The connections between the Kunio-kun (River City) and Double Dragon series have been poked at over the years by Technos, but that connection is quite loud in River City Girls. Arc System works, since taking over Technos Japan’s IP in 2015, has been pairing the two series together, recently even dropping a collection for both series soon to get a physical release from Limited Run Games. River City Girls, a collaboration between ArcSys and Wayforward, launched in 2019 to an overall positive reception.
