About Streets of Rage

The series runs in a straight line, so release order is the play order from the 1991 original to Streets of Rage 4. Streets of Rage 2 is the classic entry point, while 4 continues the story ten years after 3.

Good to know

Streets of Rage 4 takes place ten years after Streets of Rage 3, matching the real gap between releases. Sega has announced Streets of Rage: Revolution, though no release date has been confirmed.
