River City Girls 2 will feature 4-play co-op

In recent years we have seen the arcade-style beat ‘em up genre revived, with many franchises (old and new) tackling the genre. One of the newest breakout hits was 2019’s River City Girls. Ahead of the release of its sequel, the team at WayFroward has now revealed that River City Girls 2 will offer 4-player co-op.

Making the announcement via a newly-released Villains trailer, the team at WayForward said “The stakes are higher and streets are meaner in the hot-blooded beat-'em-up sequel, River City Girls 2! The River City series' most notorious villain, crime lord Sabu, is back, and – along with his adopted son Ken and daughter Sabuko – he's gonna make life miserable for Misako, Kyoko, and their allies! Fortunately, the heroes have one advantage Sabu didn't count on…”

That advantage being the fact that River City Girls 2 will feature double the player count, allowing up to 4-player co-op – making for a much more authentic arcade-like experience. The original River City Girls only offered two-player co-op allowing you and a friend to play as either Kyoko or Misako. These two will of course be returning for the sequel, but will now be joined by 4 more characters for a total of 6 playable protagonists (though only 4 can be used at any given time).

Alongside Kyoko and Misako, River City Girls 2 will include Kunio, Riki, Marian and Provie – all of which featured in previous entries in the long-running River City franchise. River City Girls was a fun and well-loved arcade-style beat 'em up. Hopefully with River City Girls 2, bigger equals better.
