It looks like we could be set to receive some DLC for Streets of Rage 4, if a newly-spotted listing on Steam is to be believed.
The new page, spotted on the Steamdb website by Reddit user mikesaintjules, refers to an unreleased piece of DLC for Windows users. It doesn't reveal too much about the contents included other than the title of a character who will be familiar to fans of the series. If you don't want to be spoiled, we'd suggest you head back to our home page now.
Still here? Right, then...
The DLC's title is listed as 'Streets Of Rage 4 - Mr. X Nightmare', referring, of course, to the series' main antagonist, Mr. X. Those who have played Streets of Rage 3 (and again, we must stress that spoilers are ahead) will know that Mr. X actually died at the end of that game, so his appearance in 4 would be very interesting indeed.
Streets of Rage 4's developers and publishers have yet to officially announce any DLC for the title, so bear in mind that this isn't yet confirmed. It'd be surprising to see a page like this appear on Steam's site without a cause for it, however, so the real question is whether or not the DLC will come to Switch in the future.
Time will tell!

Would be funny if it turned out to be the Mr X from Resident Evil 2 instead.
Gimmie gimmie gimmie.
@nessisonett would give a whole new meaning to the word nightmare.
I’m still disappointed in the unlockable characters... I have yet to buy this game because of that factor.
Seeing Roo just being a bartender was such a tease. Make him playable, you cowards!
Probably a nightmare where you relive 2’s final levels but in 4’s style complete with the annoying new enemies like the biker ladies.
Yes yes and yes
Please
I would love to play as Mr. X.
Surprised Estel hasn’t been announced as a DLC character.
@Highonda_H_S what did you want? I preferred the old character models to the new ones personally and was happy about their inclusion.
I honestly just want Shiva to be playable already, and no not the retro one, the SoR4 version
It was his brain in the 3rd game wasn’t it? Actually I kinda want a playable brain walking down the streets beating people up. Make it happen.
please Estel, Max and Shiva as playable...
Loved this game, would have been cool to have the old characters drawn in the new style like Mac was as a boss.
Still working my way through this on the hardest setting, great fun to keep getting your head kicked in by the rapid punching karate guys.
@nessisonett Even funnier if it turned out to be the protagonist from the novel/Daniel Craig film Layer Cake.
Imagine if they had other Sega mascot fighters (like Akira from Virtua Fighter, Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue, and Larcen from Eternal Champions) as DLC in the game that would be cool.
Probably Terminator Mr X. Seeing as SOR 3 storyline is different depending on region regions as well as multiple endings Sega could be awkward would dlc characters.
Most likely new levels
I remember Mr X Robot sat in X’s chair maybe a bad ending, and anothor ending where you defuse bombs and rescue some Fella
Ideally I’d like Joe Musashi/Shinobi as the Programmers originally wanted to do, Electra, Estelle, Shiva, infinite machine Gun wielding Mr X.
Max and skate in the updated graphic would be my most wanted but any dlc for this game is welcome. More levels would be the bees knees.
This game came out so long ago I figured at this point it wasn't getting DLC. I mean what are they waiting for?
This game is amazing. Please give us SOR4 versions of all past characters: Max, Skate, Zan, Roo, and Shiva. And at least 4 new levels with new bosses. That
Would be solid DLC.
Bring it on.
We want SKATE from Sor2 and Sor3
"HU PIRIQI"
"AHHHHHHHHHH"
@Krockman He's in it already, in pixel form. In both of those flavors, coincidentally.
I they also add additional levels. Or even remix levels.
@Sabrewing i know, unlock then
But, i like the idea of modern Skate
It wasn't Steve from minecraft?!
@SaturnHero exactly my thoughts. I also hope they add a remix campaign.
Please, please, please be Shiva. Having him as a boss character but not playable is such a tease. Same with Max actually.
@Zeldafan79 The game came out at the beginning of the pandemic, that likely delayed and impacted their plans. They made an official statement about DLC being in the works in late August/early September 2020.
I don’t want DLC, I want Ninja Gaiden or Shinobi 4.
@Highonda_H_S
LOL. You’re missing out on the greatest beat em up ever because you’re not satisfied with it only having THIRTEEN unlockable characters (of which, you’re going to mostly play as the first one: Adam Hunter).
