Neo-Cisco Needs Cleaning Up, So Go It Alone or Grab a Friend and Let Your Fists Do the Talking!
Karlstad, Sweden – March 19, 2026 - Clear River Games, a video game publisher specialising in classic and retro games, in partnership with developers City Connection, today announced that RUSHING BEAT X: Return of Brawl Brothers is available physically for PlayStation®5 and Nintendo® Switch™2, and via digital download on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox and PC starting today.
A triumphant return to form, the much-loved franchise is back with new features, new playable characters, a host of eye-popping new combos and a fresh lick of graphical paint, guaranteeing a thrill packed ride for brawler fans everywhere! Whether gamers know the classic Jaleco series back when Rushing Beat / Rival Turf! was released, its sequel Rushing Beat Ran / Brawl Brothers came out, or this is their first time to Neo Cisco, they’ll be stepping into a beat ‘em up classic!
Go it alone, or better yet, team up with a fellow brawler and rid the neon-soaked streets of Neo Cisco from the nefarious Zeekus virus, which threatens to turn the cities inhabitants into a horde of mindless zombies, intent on terrorizing, destroying and even a little dancing (trust us, it gets weird).
Refreshed, rebooted and released today, RUSHING BEAT X: Return of Brawl Brothers reunites Rick Norton and Douglas Bild as they join forces with a host of new characters, each with distinctive moves and attributes as they battle to discover the true nature of the evil genius’s master plan.
RUSHING BEAT X: Return of Brawl Brothers delivers non-stop beat-em’-up brawlin’, infinitely repayable and loaded with fresh mechanics, designed to cater to old-school fans and newcomers alike. Here’s what’s heading your way from today!
Dynamic Combat Mechanics: New auto-combo support for newcomers, counterattacks, cancelable moves, and “Beat Rush” finishing manoeuvres
Rage Mode: Build your meters to enter a heightened state, boosting attacks, speed, and unlocking devastating finishers
Cooperative Play: Team up with a friend locally, mix character styles, synchronise combos, and strategise
Diverse Stage Design: Battle through neon shopping districts, grimy alleys, underground railways, high-security labs, and more
