We may not be getting the April Fools’ Day promise of Bimmy and Jammy inRiver City Girls 2, but WayForward’s beat ’em up still plans to mine the past for some classic heroes. Instead of pure goofs, the real stars ofDouble Dragonare ready toget into the action as DLCthis summer.
It’s not a joke, but it’s still played as over-the-top as one would expect from theRiver City Girlsgames. The DLC addition sees Dan Avidan and Arin Hanson of the Game Grumps voicing the brawlin’ mainstays — Billy and Jimmy Lee, respectively — as previewed in the brief reveal teaser below.
Billy and Jimmy will be available on all platformsRiver City Girls 2is currently on, so they’ll be throwing down on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. According to the announcement, they’ve been among the most requested characters to be made playable in the sequel since it debuted, which shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. WayForward has history of its own with theDouble Dragonseries, after all. I still blast theDouble Dragon Neonsoundtrack on a regular basis!
In addition to laying enemies out with their staple attacks, Billy and Jimmy have been integrated into the story mode with fully-voiced scenes. Avidan and Hanson also teamed up with series composer Megan McDuffee to provide a new vocal song.
Both characters will be premium DLC, so you’ll need to pay to bust heads as the duo. WayForward is cooking up a free update, as well, tossing in two more shops, new accessories, aDouble Dragon-themed motion comic, and other fresh additions. More details will be revealed closer to the DLC’s summer launch.
