A follow-up, Slashout, which was a slash 'em up set in a medieval fantasy setting, was developed and released in 2000, also for arcades. A spinoff, Spikers Battle, adding a versus fighting element, was developed and released in 2001, again for arcades. Another follow-up, Spikeout: Battle Street, was developed by Dimps and released exclusively for the Xbox in 2005.
The SpikeOut games bear a resemblance to Sega's earlier Streets of Rage series.[2]
