As for features,Streets of Kamurochois relatively thin. This is just a special experience that Sega decided to put together for its anniversary, after all. As such, the game is confirmed to not have online multiplayer. It does allow forlocal co-op, though. And while there are only two characters to play as to start, Kiryu and Majima, a screenshot from the character select menu hints that there may be a third character to play as, too.
As previously mentioned, Sega is only going to makeStreets of Kamurochoavailable for a limited time. It unlocks on Steam on October 17 and will be available until October 21 at 10:00 am PT. Once it’s unlocked, it’s kept permanently on the user’s account. But if someone misses the window of opportunity, it won’t be available again. Luckily, it’s free, so there’s no reason not to pick it up.
