River City Girls Zero delayed to 2022

Arc System Works and developer Wayforward announced today that River City Girls Zero has been delayed from its previously planned late 2021 release window to early 2022.

According to Wayforward, River City Girls Zero will be released in early 2022 and the reason for delaying the game is to achieve the most accurate port and best experience possible.

Here’s a quick overview of River City Girls Zero, via WayForward:

River City Girls Zero lets players experience the first time that Misako and Kyoko teamed up with Kunio and Riki to take to the streets in hard-hitting, curb-stomping action. While the graphics, music, and gameplay all remain true to the classic 16-bit Super Famicom release, this version marks the first time the 1994 game will be localized for the west. A new opening cinematic, new manga cutscenes, and new theme song by River City Girls composer Megan McDuffee have been added as well. Set out solo or team up with a friend in local co-op and discover how the River City Girls story began!

River City Girls Zero will be available for Switch and possibly more platforms. We’ll let you know once Wayforward confirms other platforms.
