The Double Dragons Billy and Jimmy are joining the roster in River City Girls 2 sometime this year. And today, Wayforward has shared the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming DLC, via IGN.
The stars of Double Dragon, who are being voiced by the Game Grumps' Dan Avidan and Arin Hanson, each come with their unique fighting style. They fit perfectly into the River City Girls' world and with that fantastic pixel art, they look great to boot.
The paid character DLC isn't the only update coming to the game — a free update will also be available when the DLC drops. We got a little sneak peek at the upcoming motion comic, which everyone will be able to download, regardless of whether they've got the DLC or not. That free update will also be bringing two new shops and new accessories.
River City Girls 2 launched on Switch back in December 2022 on Switch, and this is the first piece of DLC for the game, over 18 months after the game's release. And Billy and Jimmy won't be the first Double Dragon characters in the game, as Marian is one of the base game's playable fighters

Always happy to see Marian! Time to break some faces!
Looks great, looking forward to eventually playing River City Girls 2 even more!
This looks better than the reimagining game that dropped a trailer recently.
Fantastic news for a fantastic game. This is easily my favorite beat em up on Switch, and I think having the game grumps voice Bimmy and Jimmy is a real treat.
...that said, I hate that my Limited Run physical copy is effectively meaningless now (because the DLC is not on cartridge) 🥲
Love this game, I'll definitely buy the DLC to support them.
@LadyCharlie I have the PlayAsia double pack that has both 1 and 2 on the cartridge
@LadyCharlie all we need is the oneyplays cast in the game now somewhere and we're golden
River City Girls..now 50% boys. I just think that’s funny. Were Hasebe and Mami busy?
I’ll still get it though.
I REALLY hope Yuke's Double Dragon game has a different cast. Sexbang is okay but I can not STAND Arin's voice anymore.
Although I do think it's cute they edited Marianne's face to be giving them the side eye.
@OwenGamer22 Yes, but neither release has the DLC on cartridge.
I just want playable Mami
The long-awaited Return of Bimmy and Jimmy Lee!!
I'll get this, and I want different double dragon games from wayforward that use river city girls gameplay & style but with more serious story
I go where the Dragons go, so I'll download them when get around to playing this game. Still surprised they made them playable, but I'm always down for DD action wherever I may find it.
"Go beat up the world, bro!"
Still love that line from Jimmy from the first game. ^^;
Love the River City Girls games! Marian's still my favorite character from RCG2, and that probably won't change here, but... hoo boy, it's gonna be fun seeing her "catch up" with the two nerds who took so long to rescue her that she decided to start rescuing herself. XD
Has the performance on this game been fixed? I played it on launch it was just so ... off, compared to the first game. Even after the first few updates.
Oh boy! I can’t wait to play as the Game Grumps!
@Synecdoche Funnily enough the first River City Girls is also 50% boys.

I keep googling from time to time in hopes of hearing that the game "plays great on Switch now!" But I think we can give up hope at this point.
