Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons has just received a free Switch update that adds four playable characters in the newly released "Bimmy & Friends" pack. The 2D pixel brawler’s roster grows with distinct fighters who change how teams can be built and how combos flow, and a trailer showcases each newcomer in action.

  • Free content drop: Four additional playable characters have been added at no cost, expanding the cast available from the moment you load the game.
  • Fresh playstyles: Each newcomer brings a unique moveset and combat identity, encouraging players to learn new approaches and tactics rather than reusing familiar patterns.
  • Tag-team focus: The update highlights paired attacks and synergy opportunities, giving players new ways to chain moves and experiment with cooperative combos in single-player and local co-op.
  • Visual fit: The new fighters maintain the game’s retro pixel aesthetic while introducing distinct designs and animations to stand out in the city’s streets.
  • See them move: Nintendo Life notes a trailer demonstrating each character’s abilities, making it easy to preview how they play before jumping into matches.
