Taking it back to the streets?

The Australian Ratings Board appears to have let slip an as-yet-unannounced title fromShantaedeveloper WayForward Games. According to the rating, there is aRiver City Girlscurrently in development at the retro-loving indie studio.

This title, of course, instantly recalls the famousRiver Cityseries, orKunio-Kunas it’s known in its origin country of Japan. Although theKunio-Kunfranchise is currently owned by Arc System Works, the localisedRiver Cityname can be licenced out to allow for independent releases, such as 2017’sRiver City Ransom: Undergroundby Canadian studio Conatus Creative.

Although there are no details onRiver City Girlsas of yet, we can probably expect a lot of face smashing and rib-breaking, perhaps with a team of female protagonists, but that’s purely guesswork. One thing’s for sure, WayForward have a proven track record for making rad games, so I’m looking forward to hearing more about this release in the future.
