Beat ’em up Raging Justice will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, and Mac on May 8, publisher Team17 and developer MakinGames announced.
Team17 also announced that the game will feature a third playable character named Ashley King, who is described as a street-smart inner-city kid “with a backpack full of whoop ass.”
Here is her official description:
Ashley King
- Height: 5’5″
- Age: 15
Ash’s inner-city upbringing was blighted by the fear of gang violence. Fast and lethal, Ash learned to fight on the streets, using movies as inspiration for an arsenal of lethal moves including a signature Crane Kick finisher.
Here is an overview of the game, via Team17:
