RGG Studio's Enigmatic Announcement
At the "Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience" panel during Anime Expo in Los Angeles, Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and voice actor Kazuhiro Nakaya (Ichiban Kasuga) hinted at the upcoming title. While specifics remain under wraps, they emphasized the element of surprise, stating, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." This was confirmed by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, who also clarified it's a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.
The Unexpected Twist
Given the series' shift from beat 'em up to JRPG with Like a Dragon 7, the nature of this "surprise" is anyone's guess. Possibilities range from a rhythm game based on the karaoke mini-game, a spin-off focusing on other characters, or even a remake or sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The anticipation is palpable!
