Streets of Rage 4 soundtrack includes original composer Yuzo Koshiro

When I played Streets of Rage 4 at the PAX fan convention last year, I had a major question. I dug the faithful action, but what about the soundtrack? Streets of Rage fans like the series for its beat-’em-up arcade action on the Sega Genesis throughout the 1990s, but people still love its synth-techno soundtrack. And now, publisher Dotemu has confirmed that it’s bringing back the talent that made the original games so memorable.

Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima are returning to contribute new tracks to Streets of Rage 4. In a video announcement, Dotemu featured both men talking about their approach. They explained their concerns and how they feel about fan expectations.
