RGG Studio's Next Title: A Shocking Twist?
Another Unexpected Turn?
At Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles, RGG Studio hosted the "Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience." During the event, Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya, teased the upcoming game, 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 noted it's a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.
The shift to a full-fledged JRPG in Like a Dragon 7 was already unexpected, so the nature of this "surprising" new entry remains a mystery. Speculation ranges 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.
