Like a Dragon: Ishin was just announced tonight at Sony State of Play! This shiny new action game remake of the Yakuza spinoff previously unavailable in Western markets will launch on PS4 and PS5 in February 2023.
The trailer shows a Yakuza-like ancient Japan, filled with very familiar characters, clashing with the classic Yakuza comabt, albeit with swords and flintlock pistols instead of fists, traffic cones, and stray bikes. As far as the story goes, it’s a classic for those familiar with the franchise. Our no-nonsense protagonist has been drawn into some spooky conspiracy that requires him to go out and fight mobs on land.
Original Game – Ryū ga Houde Yixin! — Originally released on PS3 and PS4 in 2014. Yakuza gets these every now and then, and they always look like entertaining twists on rad and the franchise. Who can forget the zombie title Yakuza: Dead Souls, which makes us Majima as he takes on hordes of undead with gusto.
If you like 3-person action games but prefer a more classic setting than modern Japan, this game is worth your attention.
You can watch the new trailer embedded above! What do you think of the new games coming out next year? You pick it up with excitement! Let us know below.
