The Karate Kid: Street Rumble, a Pixel-Art Beat-‘Em-Up, Announced for PC and Consoles
GameMill Entertainment has announced The Karate Kid: Street Rumble, a 16-bit-styled multiplayer side-scrolling beat-’em-up. It’s in development for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, and it’s due to be released on September 20.
As you can see in the announcement trailer above and in the first screenshots in the gallery below, Street Rumble is very much a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge”-ified take on a Karate Kid game, and if Street Rumble turns out just as good as Shredder’s Revenge, I doubt any of us would mind.
You can play as Daniel Russo, Mr. Miyagi, Kumiko, or Ali Mills, and you’ll face off against classic foes like Johnny Lawrence, John Kreese, Terry Silver, and others across 12 stages. And yes, it’s set in the 1980’s.
Once we can get our hands on Street Rumble to preview it for ourselves, we’ll share our first impressions with you. In the meantime, this year marks the 40th anniversary of The Karate Kid franchise, and the first part of the sixth season of Cobra Kai hits Netflix on July 18.
Ryan McCaffrey is IGN’s senior executive editor of previews and host of both IGN’s weekly Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, as well as our monthly(-ish) interview show, IGN Unfiltered. He’s a North Jersey guy, so it’s “Taylor ham,” not “pork roll.” Debate it with him on Twitter at @DMC_Ryan.
