Another Unexpected Twist?
During the third day of Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles, RGG Studio hosted the "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.
Attendees were treated to a tantalizing hint about the studio's upcoming project: "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-fledged JRPG in Like a Dragon 7 was already a significant departure. The nature of this "surprising" new entry remains a mystery, sparking speculation ranging from a rhythm game based on the series' popular karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring other characters, or even a remake or sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan.
