RGG Studio's Next Title: A Shocking Revelation?

Another Unexpected Twist?

At Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles, RGG Studio hosted the "Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience." During the event, Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya, hinted at the upcoming title, 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 further clarified that it's a new addition to the Like a Dragon series.

Given the series' shift to a JRPG format in Like a Dragon 7, the nature of this "surprise" remains highly speculative. Possibilities range from a rhythm game based on the 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. The anticipation is palpable!
