Another Unexpected Twist?
At the Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience event during Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles, Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya, hinted at the upcoming game. The announcement, as reported by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, simply stated, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." They confirmed it's a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.
Given the series' shift from action beat 'em up to JRPG with Like a Dragon 7, the nature of this "surprise" is anyone's guess. Speculation ranges widely, from a rhythm game based on the karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring other series characters, or even a remake or sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The possibilities are endless!
