This marks the largest character update yet for Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, following earlier DLC releases that introduced new fighters to the streets. Each new character in the Bimmy & Friends DLC brings a new face, new personality, and new fighting style to the city, giving players even more ways to experiment with powerful tag-team combinations.

Meet the New Fighters

Just like with the previous updates, each fighter comes with their own personality and fighting style.

Armored Okada

Despite being the Oyabun of the Okada Clan, Lady Okada faces constant discrimination from the elders. When a powerful threat emerged, the elders presented her with the sacred clan armor - a challenge disguised as support. If she triumphs, she earns their respect. If she fails, she proves them right.

Jackson

A heavyweight boxer known for his lightning-fast jabs and devastating uppercuts. Once too strong for the ring, he grew bored of rules and regulations. Seeking greater thrills, he turned to the streets, where his power and skill made him a prized asset for every gang.

Jim Mackey

The younger brother of M.G. Willy, Jim respects his brother but refuses to live in his shadow. Determined to become his own man, he dreams of leading his own gang. To set himself apart, he wields a shotgun - the opposite of Willy’s machine gun.

Bimmy Lee

Legends speak of a secret within the Sōsetsuken - a form that can only be mastered by two. The tale has been passed down for so long that few believe it, dismissing it as myth or joke. But could this be the proof…?

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a dynamic side-scrolling action brawler that brings the iconic Billy and Jimmy Lee back into action, joined by an ever-growing roster of allies and enemies as they battle the criminal underworld of New York City. Players can unleash devastating combos and special moves while unlocking upgrades and experimenting with unique character pairings.

In a fresh twist on the classic formula, players can select up to two characters to form a tag team, swapping fighters on the fly for strategic, high-impact combat.

The Bimmy & Friends DLC is live now on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation® 5, and PlayStation® 4, and is completely free and unlockable today.
