Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Adds Evil Marian and Super Anubis in Free DLC
The streets of New York just got a lot more dangerous, and a little more supernatural. Maximum Entertainment and developer Secret Base have dropped the second free DLC pack for Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, adding two new playable fighters: Evil Marian and Super Anubis. The update is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.
Meet the New Challengers
-
Evil Marian : Once the Lee brothers’ trusted ally, Marian has been consumed by a dark, ancient force. Now she floats above the battlefield, wielding psychic blasts and violent telekinesis with cold precision. Her eyes are vacant, her voice empty ,whatever has taken hold of her isn’t letting go.
-
Super Anubis : Long dismissed as a fraud, Anubis has reemerged in a terrifying new form. Levitating, glowing, and commanding dark forces, he’s either proven himself the prophet he claimed to be… or embraced something far more sinister.
A Fresh Twist on the Classic Beat ’Em Up
For those who haven’t stepped into the brawl yet, Double Dragon Gaiden is a modern reimagining of the iconic side-scrolling series. Players can tag-team with two characters, unleash devastating combos, and unlock powerful upgrades while taking on waves of enemies across New York City. Whether solo or in co-op, it’s an adrenaline-pumping throwback with a modern edge.
We reviewed the base game last year and found it to be a fun, artful revival of the series , even if it could use a touch more variety. You can read our full review here: Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Review.
With Evil Marian and Super Anubis now in the mix, veteran players have a fresh reason to hit the streets — and newcomers have the perfect excuse to start cracking skulls. The DLC is free, the sale is live, and the fight is waiting.
