More news on the upcoming Streets of Rage 4 is finally coming next week, and we're desperately hoping for confirmation that the game will be headed to Switch.

The revival of Sega's classic side-scrolling fighter series was first revealed back in the summer of 2018, when it was announced that Lizardcube and DotEmu - the studios behind Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap on Switch - were in charge. We've had little snippets of info arrive on our laps since then, but this little tease sounds like we could be in for something a little more worthwhile.

Now, the game hasn't had any particular platforms confirmed just yet, although as we've said numerous times in the past, we'd be super-surprised it if didn't end up on Switch. Perhaps next week's announcement will confirm the game's existence on Nintendo's machine? Perhaps it'll even star in next week's Nindies Direct? Or perhaps we're getting ahead of ourselves just a little bit?
