Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will not be a turn-based RPG and will return to the classic beat 'em up brawler style that the Yakuza series had when Kiryu was its primary protagonist. It'll involve "escorting a certain individual." The monk is frustrated that Kiryu is still shackled by his worldly desires, despite giving up his name and existence.Ī mysterious individual goes up to Kiryu later informing him of a job.

Kiryu now goes under the name of Joryu and is meditating before being disciplined by a monk. The announcement trailer opens at Daidoji Temple in Summer 2018 in-game. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is scheduled to be released sometime in early 2024 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.It serves as a side-story in the Like a Dragon (formerly known as Yakuza) series that focuses on what happened to series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu after the events of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and before the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon. RGG Summit Summer 2023 will stream on Sega’s Western YouTube and Twitch channels at 11 p.m. That event streams live on Thursday, and promises “updates about upcoming titles, community efforts, developer discussions.” Fans can also expect more on Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, the spinoff revealed on Thursday at Summer Game Fest 2023 that will bring back former series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu.

Sega and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will likely reveal more about Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth at RGG Summit Summer 2023 later this week.


Maybe Ichiban and the Like a Dragon series are taking a Hawaiian vacation? One thing’s for certain: Like a Dragon’s developer is taking cues from Austin Powers’ repeated gag of showing the shagadelic super spy walking around in the nude, with conveniently placed props covering his junk.Īccording to a news release from Sega, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth begins when “an unexpected chain of events sets two legendary ex-yakuza, Kasuga Ichiban and Kazuma Kiryu, on a larger-than-life adventure as dual playable protagonists.” What’s interesting about Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s first trailer - outside of Ichiban being completely naked - is where he wakes up: somewhere the locals are all speaking English. That cheeky trailer shows Ichiban Kasuga, star of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, waking up on a beach in the buff, setting up the events of a new game called Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The next game in Sega’s Like a Dragon franchise - the series previously known as Yakuza in the West - was revealed Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase.
