Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is coming out on 9th November 2023, RGG Studio has confirmed with a dramatic new trailer. It’s coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
This game will fill in the blanks between the end of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, where Kiryu gave up his name and life up to that point, and through the events that led to his return in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. He has plenty of fresh adversity to overcome it seems, also some pretty flash specs.
Looking back on Kiryu’s last adventure, in our Yakuza 6: The Song of Life review, we wrote:
“Yakuza 6 is a beast of a game, and it sends Kiryu off in style. The graphical upgrades are mouth-watering, and the seamless interior exploration makes an already immersive world even more engrossing. Combat feels very different from any other Yakuza game, and while it’s a little sluggish and unsatisfying at first, upgrades and stat buffs help make Kiryu feel like as much of a bruiser as he’s always been. While some important side-characters don’t get their moment in the sunset here, Kiryu Kazuma gets one last heart-breaking journey that parallels the highs and lows of his previous adventures. Kiryu may be gone, but with a new engine and flashy new combat, the Yakuza series is nowhere close to going away.”
