RGG Studio's Next Title: A Shocking Revelation?
Another Unexpected Twist?
At the 3rd day of Anime Expo 2024 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, RGG representatives hinted at their upcoming project, stating, "We can't reveal the game's genre, but it will surprise you." This was confirmed by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, who also clarified 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 unexpected, so this new "surprise" could encompass various possibilities. Speculation ranges from a rhythm game based on the popular karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring other series characters, or even a remake/sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The possibilities are endless, and the anticipation is palpable.
