Developed by Odaclick Game Studio, the game revisits the original locations of the original trilogy, starting with the early 80s and the start of Daniel and Johnny's rivalry. From the streets of West Valley, through to Okinawa, the game opts for a 'retro flair from the original movies', and optimised for four-player co-op.
