Streets of Rage 4 hits the Switch and other systems on April 30th, the same day that the game's official soundtrack album goes live on services like Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes and Amazon Music.
We already know that legendary series composers Yuzo Koshrio and Motohiro Kawashima are involved, but the man guiding the project is Olivier Deriviere, and he's assembled a team of fresh composers to give the Streets of Rage series an aural update for 2020.
To get an idea of just how varied a soundtrack the game is getting, you can view the full track listing below along with the personnel involved with its creation. Koshiro and Kawashima – the old guard – get 10 tracks between them, while the remaining songs are all from 'new' artists.

From what we've heard so far, the soundtrack appears to be in good hands, but it will be interesting to see if the other compositions match what Koshiro and Kawashima contribute – assuming, of course, their own songs are up to scratch with the work they've done with the series previously.

Hoping it's great; there's been only one track that has really impressed me so far though (on the latest trailer).
If it's anything like the originals soundtrack I'm sold! Everybody seems to favor the 2nd game but I've always liked the first better. The music is one major reason!
I just love how much of a fanservice this project has become
Streets of Rage 1 is the best video game soundtrack ever, for me.
I hope we get some SEGA AGES Streets of Rages when 4 comes out.

Thank you so much for that! They sound great Question is.... should I buy this on Switch or PC? Will there be any graphical differences?!
@presenttense I have the same question. Plus, I don't have a Nintendo Online subscription at the moment which means that I will have to pay to play online whereas online will be free on Steam.
@ludotaku That is an excellent point - I forgot about the online. Steam doesn't seem to have revealed the price yet as well....
Counting down the days x x x x
Anyone know if you can play online against other console versions?
