Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Adds Bimmy & Friends DLC in Latest Free Update

Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons continues to expand its roster with the arrival of the highly anticipated Bimmy & Friends DLC, now available as a free update across all supported platforms, including Nintendo Switch.

Since its initial release, Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons has attracted attention for its engaging beat-em-up gameplay, nods to classic franchise history, and steady post-launch support, reinforcing the developer's commitment to a long-lasting player experience.

The latest Bimmy & Friends update introduces four distinctive new playable characters: Armored Okada, Jackson, Jim Mackey, and Bimmy Lee.

Each brings their own background, unique set of moves, and fresh challenges to the city’s underbelly, further enhancing the game’s depth and replay value. Armored Okada stands out as the controversial Oyabun of the Okada Clan.

Despite her leadership, she continues to face skepticism and discrimination from her clan's elders.

Following the appearance of a formidable new adversary, Okada’s elders present her with the sacred clan armor, simultaneously testing her resolve and ability to lead.

Her quest for respect unfolds in the heat of battle, adding a new narrative layer for players to explore. Jackson, a formidable heavyweight boxer, boasts fast jabs and powerful uppercuts.

Once ruled out of professional fighting for his overwhelming strength, Jackson found new purpose on the streets, where his fighting prowess quickly earned him notoriety in the city’s underground circuits.

His transition from the ring to the rough-and-tumble street fights brings explosive action and unique gameplay mechanics to Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. Meanwhile, Jim Mackey emerges from the shadow of his older brother, M.G.

Willy.

Determined to forge his own legacy, Jim diverges from his brother’s tactics by arming himself with a shotgun, creating a distinctive playstyle.

His ambition to lead an independent gang and distinguish himself makes him a compelling addition for players eager to experiment with new strategies. Finally, the legendary Bimmy Lee draws inspiration from rumors circulating about the mysterious martial art known as Sōsetsuken, a form believed by most to be myth.

Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons challenges this skepticism, hinting at deeper secrets yet to be discovered, and infusing the game with a sense of mythic intrigue linked directly to the heritage of beat-em-up classics. A new gameplay trailer showcases intense action sequences and character highlights, giving fans a glimpse of what awaits in the Bimmy & Friends DLC.

The update follows a pattern of strong post-launch support, with previous content expansions adding even more to the game’s already robust offering.

Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons and its latest DLC are now available for download on Nintendo Switch via the eShop and on other supported platforms.

The continual addition of new content underlines the dedication of the development team and promises ongoing excitement for fans of the genre.
