The first mainline Streets of Rage game in more than 25 years, Streets of Rage 4 reunites the series’ original brawling trio for an all-new experience backed by a gorgeous hand-drawn art style invoking the series’ gritty urban aesthetic. Fujita’s signature melodic approach to music composition and her extensive experience with games contributing all-time greats to the NES’ melodic library like Bionic Commando and Mega Man 3 help to round out the Streets of Rage 4 musical lineup in a truly unique way. Harumi Fujita, an iconic veteran musician behind a trove of classic Capcom melodies including Final Fight, Capcom’s answer to the Streets of Rage series, has been kind enough to share her talent instead. Just before Christmas 2010, Square Enix released the soundtrack for the game in a three disc set (sadly lacking in terms of booklet contents). The duo’s iconic legacies are integral parts of Derivière’s goals for the soundtrack.ĭue to scheduling complications, Hideki Naganuma is regrettably no longer able to contribute to Streets of Rage 4 for now. Sekito composes a small part of The 3rd Birthday, after his original involvement on Parasite Eve II as guitar player on Forbidden Power, while Suzuki takes a leading role for the first time on a soundtrack. Furthering the creative commitment for an authentic Streets of Rage experience, Koshiro and Kawashima carry special and expanded presences throughout Streets of Rage 4 and have each provided several tracks Koshiro’s contributions include both the game’s main theme as well as the song backing the first stage in addition to other songs. This collaboration will see each guest composer contributing distinctive, pulse-spiking boss fight themes. In celebration of today’s announcement, four tracks from Streets of Rage 4’s soundtrack courtesy of Olivier Derivière, Das Mörtal, and Groundislava are now streamable on Dotemu’s Soundcloud:

Derivière’s musical vision echoes the philosophy at the heart of Streets of Rage 4: infusing the timeless, classic elements of the original Streets of Rage games with a modern approach to gameplay, art and design, channeling the nostalgic glory of the genre-defining beat-em-ups through the music of series composers Yūzō Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima, along with featured Japanese composers, while instilling a unique spirit throughout Streets of Rage 4 via Western artists and Derivière’s sonic creations. Although the soundtrack has 2 bonus tracks never heard in the game (track 33 and 34 on the second disc), it does lack the track heard after the fight with No.
