RGG Studio's Next Title: A Shocking Revelation?
Another Unexpected Twist?
At the Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience event during Anime Expo in Los Angeles, Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and voice actor Kazuhiro Nakaya (Ichiban Kasuga) hinted at the upcoming title. They teased attendees with the statement, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised," as reported by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter. The studio confirmed it's a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.
Given the series' already unexpected shift to a JRPG format with the seventh mainline entry (a departure from the traditional action beat 'em up style), the nature of this "surprise" remains highly speculative. Possibilities range from a rhythm game based on the popular 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 anticipation is palpable!
