RGG Studio's Next Title: A Shocking Revelation?
Another Unexpected Twist?
At Anime Expo in Los Angeles, RGG Studio hosted the "Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience." During the event, Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and voice actor Kazuhiro Nakaya (Ichiban Kasuga) hinted at their upcoming project, 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 noted it's a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.
The shift to a full JRPG in Like a Dragon 7 was already unexpected, so this new "surprise" could be anything. Speculation ranges from a rhythm game based on the 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-only Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The possibilities are endless!
