By 1994, the Streets of Rage series had already become a cornerstone of Sega's 16-bit legacy. With Streets of Rage 3, Sega AM7 and Ancient set out to deliver the most ambitious entry yet — faster, harder, and darker. It wasn't just another sequel; it was the grand finale of Sega's legendary beat 'em up trilogy.
When Streets of Rage 2 arrived on the Sega Mega Drive in 1992, it wasn't just a sequel — it was a statement. Building upon the foundation of the original, SEGA AM7 and Ancient delivered a follow-up that improved every aspect of the formula: richer graphics, smoother animations, expanded move sets, and one of the most unforgettable soundtracks ever produced for a 16-bit console.
In 1991, Streets of Rage hit the Sega Mega Drive (known as Genesis in North America) and instantly became one of the console's defining titles. Developed by SEGA AM7, this side-scrolling beat 'em up was Sega's answer to Final Fight — and it did more than compete. It built a franchise that would define urban brawlers for a generation.
