As for what they’ll have in store, it sounds like a few updates. Via a press release, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio plans on sharing updates about upcoming titles, as well as community efforts and developer discussions.
The future of Like a Dragon
We already have some inkling of what’s in store for the Like a Dragon series, or Yakuza as those in the west previously knew it. Last year, RGG Studio confirmed that Like a Dragon 8 is in development, with a 2024 target. Both Kazuma Kiryu and Ichiban Kasuga are set to play leading roles in the game, too.
Meanwhile, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name looks to be a side-story telling the story of what happened to Kiryu in-between the past games and new. While he made an appearance in Yakuza: Like a Dragon (Like a Dragon 7), there are still some gaps to fill between the end of the sixth game and the upcoming eighth entry. It’s currently aiming for a 2023 launch, too.
We also got the remaster of Like a Dragon: Ishin! earlier this year, a solid historical brawler that finally brought the tale to the west. There’s certainly some games for RGG to show off at this showcase, amid all the hubbub of June’s gaming news. We’ll see what RGG is planning for the future on June 15.
