Today Wayforward released a rather awesome new trailer of its upcoming beat’em up River City Girls.
The trailer focuses on revealing the villains that we’ll fight in the game, including crime lord Sabu, who breaks out of prison to avenge his daughter Sabuko’s defeat in the first game. Sabuko herself will also appear, alongside Sabu’s adopted son Ken from River City Girls Zero.
More baddies include tech expert Tsuiko, strength-enhancing chef Primo, and magic-wielding witch Blaire.
That being said, heroines Misako and Kyoko won’t have to fight alone as the game will feature 4-player co-op. Among the selectable characters, we’ll find the boyfriends, Kunio and Riki, on top of Provie and Marian.
More help will come from new weapons like saxophones, Molotov cocktails, and sofas, and new elemental attacks, on top of new accessories and food items that can be purchased be obtained from more than 40 shops.
You can check the trailer out below.
The game, which has recently been delayed, will now launch in Q4 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
If you’re unfamiliar with it, it’s the latest installment of the popular Kunio-Kun franchise which debuted with Nekketsu Koha Kunio-kun in 1986 in the Japanese arcades.
Since then, there has been a gazillion of sequels and spin-offs from a variety of developers, including the recent River City Saga: Three Kingdoms, which is available for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
