What’s in store for fans of the Yakuza series after the highly successful Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth? We’ll find out soon enough, as a surprise is coming.
Even though the Yakuza franchise has swapped its historical name for Like a Dragon, which is a more accurate name for the saga today, its popularity has remained intact. In July, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio announced that fans would not have to wait very long for the next installment to be made official. Promise kept? Yes. As previously stated, a big surprise is looming, it is now confirmed, and you will have more details very soon.
New Like a Dragon game coming soon
The transition from beat’em’all games to RPGs has been a success for the Yakuza series. Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth was a hit with over 1 million sales in just one week. A performance that allowed this episode to achieve the best launch of a license. Obviously, the opening of the franchise with the presence of subtitles, particularly in French, is not unrelated to this boost. So there is now a wider audience who will surely be delighted to get their hands on the new Like a Dragon game.
If you’ve succumbed to the latest Yazuka games, know that the next one will be announced as part of the RGG Summit 2024. An online event that will take place on September 20, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. (French time). So you won’t have to stay up late to find out what’s next for the Like a Dragon saga. According to RGG Studio, the upcoming project should surprise fans. “We can’t tell you what kind of game it is… but you’ll be surprised.”. Has the RPG formula been reworked to create a surprise? Is this yet another genre? We give up. But this statement still leaves us to expect that it may not be a Like a Dragon RPG or beat’em’all.
It is also unclear whether there will be direct gameplay for this new Like a Dragon game, or whether the team will reserve excerpts for the Tokyo Game Show 2024. The Japanese video game show which takes place from September 26 to 29, 2024. Your predictions on the nature of the software!
