Sega just released trailers for two new ones yakuza Games on the way: Yakuza 8the next main game in the series (and one we had already seen and knew about
comes first yakuza 8, who Ichiban seems to have abandoned as the sole star in favor of a shared adventure with Kiryu, the man no one can say goodbye to. Please note that Sega doesn’t actually use them yakuza Names no more, that is, officially Like a dragon 8but it will take a while to get used to, so let’s just keep calling it for now Yakuza 8:
The eighth game in the main series will be released in 2024 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. I…I don’t know how to process what they did to Kiryu’s hair here, and to be honest I don’t want to talk about it right now. Instead, let’s move on to the other Kiryu-related project that was demoed overnight, called Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name:
now This is interesting. It not only fills in some narrative gaps and shows us what Kiryu was up to in between Yakuza 6 & 7, but it’s also aimed specifically at fans who enjoy the older playstyle (pre Yakuza 7 Leap to turn-based combat), with a big focus on action-based combat. The game is also reportedly a smaller, more manageable affair that lacks mainline spread yakuza Games, so hopefully it comes a little cheaper too.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will be released in 2023.
