Developer WayForward has announced River City Girls 2 will launch December 15 in North America and Europe. The beat-’em-up sequel starts after the first game and features Marian from the Double Dragon franchise as well as Provie from River City Ransom: Underground.
Marian first appeared in Double Dragon as Billy Lee’s girlfriend who, after taking a punch to the gut, becomes a damsel in distress for the entirety of the game. River City Girls 2 will see her dishing out some pain as a playable character after a cameo role in the previous title.
Along with Marian and Provie, River City Girls 2 also features the original title’s cast of four: Misako, Kyoko, Kunio, and Riki. Another key difference with River City Girls 2 is the incorporation of online co-op, with four players being able to fight together.
