After the critical success of the remake of [[Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap]] by Lizardcube in 2017, Lizardcube asked Sega to trust them with another IP from the Mega Drive era. The deal concluded with the revival of Streets of Rage. As they didn't have any experience in doing beat them up games, Lizardcube associated again with DotEmu, this time for production and not edition, and with Guard Crush Games to provide an improved version of their engine used on their 2015 released game, Streets of Fury.

For the sound aspects, the studios contracted early with Olivier Derivière based on his work on adaptive soundtracks on several video games, giving a strong dubstep colouring to Streets of Rage 4, probably because the sound work of Yuzo Koshiro on the original SoR trilogy heavily influenced the dubstep musical trend during the early 2000's. The studios reached to Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima during their concert ''Diggin' In The Carts'' in Paris in 2018 and successfully contracted for their participation in the game soundtrack through the company Brave Wave Productions. This deal also gave the opportunity to have other legendary Japanese guests like Yoko Shimomura from Street Fighter II and Kingdom Hearts fame, Keiji Yamagishi well known for Ninja Gaiden and Dynasty Warriors, and Harumi Fujita who worked on Strider and Final Fight. This all-star sound team is completed by other guests from the West: Scattle, XL Middleton, Das Mörtal and Groundislava.

After the critical success of the remake of Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap by Lizardcube in 2017, Lizardcube asked Sega to trust them with another IP from the Mega Drive era. The deal concluded with the revival of Streets of Rage. As they didn't have any experience in doing beat them up games, Lizardcube associated again with DotEmu, this time for production and not edition, and with Guard Crush Games to provide an improved version of their engine used on their 2015 released game, Streets of Fury.

For the sound aspects, the studios contracted early with Olivier Derivière based on his work on adaptive soundtracks on several video games, giving a strong dubstep colouring to Streets of Rage 4, probably because the sound work of Yuzo Koshiro on the original SoR trilogy heavily influenced the dubstep musical trend during the early 2000's.
