RGG Studio recently unveiled a cryptic teaser for their next game at Anime Expo, promising fans a "surprising" new entry in the Like a Dragon franchise. Let's delve into the details.
At the Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience event during Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles, Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya, hinted at the upcoming title. Hosted by Linda “VampyBitMe” Le, the event featured a teaser stating, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." This was confirmed by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, who also clarified that it's a new addition to the Like a Dragon series.

Given the series' shift from action beat 'em up to a full-fledged JRPG in Like a Dragon 7, the nature of this "surprise" is wide open to speculation. Possibilities range from a rhythm game based on the popular karaoke mini-game, a spin-off focusing on other series characters, or even a remake or sequel to previous spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The anticipation is palpable!
