Another Unexpected Twist?
At the 2024 Anime Expo in Los Angeles, RGG Studio hosted "Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience." The event, moderated by Linda "VampyBitMe" Le, featured Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya.
During the event, attendees were treated to a tantalizing hint about the studio's upcoming project. Studio representatives stated, "We can't reveal the game's genre, but it will surprise you." This was confirmed by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, who also noted that 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 a significant departure from the series' action-beat 'em up roots. This new "surprising" entry leaves fans speculating wildly. 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.
