Fans of classic side-scrolling beat ‘em up games like Streets of Rage, Final Fight, and Double Dragon have something exciting to look forward to with the upcoming release of Vice and Virtue® from Raini Studios.

A 'Haller' Hall of Fame Team

Anticipation is high for this game, which not only captures the essence of those nostalgic titles but also elevates the gameplay with cutting-edge advancements in motion capture and graphics. Scheduled for an early 2025 launch, Vice and Virtue® features UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

Formerly a light heavyweight champion and renowned as one of the greatest mixed martial artists in history, Jones brings his exceptional fighting skills and charismatic presence to Vice and Virtue®. With an impressive record of 27 wins out of 29 fights, including ten knockouts and seven submissions, Jones holds records for the most title defenses, victories, and longest winning streak in UFC heavyweight history.

Vice and Virtue® is the brainchild of an accomplished development team led by gaming industry veteran Mike Haller, known for his work on major hits such as Medal of Honor, Def Jam Vendetta, and the first 3D wrestling games on consoles. Haller has contributed to numerous successful titles across PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo platforms throughout his distinguished career.

"Jon’s unparalleled athleticism, distinctive fighting abilities, and magnetic personality, coupled with the latest gaming technologies, promise an incredibly immersive beat ‘em up experience," predicts Haller, who serves as Co-founder of CEDEN Network, the gaming company driving the game’s development.

"We’re thrilled to collaborate with a living legend like Jon to bring Vice and Virtue® to life," added Haller.

Raini Studios has previously achieved success with The Lords of Light, a free-to-play digital trading card game available on PC and mobile platforms, which became the inaugural release on the gaming-focused Avalanche subnet Beam in September.
