It's been 26 years in the making, but it seems to be worth the wait. Fans of the "Double Dragon" franchise should be glad to know that this Christmas, they finally got their wish. Arc System Works confirms January 2017 arrival on PlayStation 4 and PC for "Double Dragon 4." The latest in the series is the first numbered sequel since as long ago as 1990.

The news was reported by Polygon, which indicates that the release date for "Double Dragon 4" is on January 20, 2017 worldwide. The game is arriving to PlayStation 4 and Windows PC come that day. The sequel is created by the same development staff who created the arcade version of "Double Dragon," as well as producer Takaomi Kaneko, director Yoshihisa Kishimoto, character designer Koji Ogata, composer Kazunaka Yamane, and programmer Kei Oyama.

Gamespot reports that the new trailer for "Double Dragon 4" may be short and sweet, but it also shows a montage of the original NES game. Staying true to its aesthetic, "Double Dragon 4" is very reminiscent of the original game played on the NES.

But what can fans expect from the "Double Dragon 4" now that Arc System Works confirms January 2017 arrival on PlayStation 4 and PC? First of all, there is a story mode, 2P Duel, Japanese mode, and an unspecified "???" on the menu that fans will have to discover once the game is released next month.

"Double Dragon 4" is the sequel to "Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone," which was released in 1990. Now that Arc System Works confirms January 2017 arrival on PlayStation 4 and PC, fans can look forward to finally delving back into the "Double Dragon" world.

"Double Dragon 4" will be released on January 20, 2017 in celebration of "Double Dragon"'s 30th anniversary of its arcade launch. To keep up on the latest on Arc System Works and "Double Dragon 4," make sure to bookmark this page. In the meantime, check out the trailer below.
