Another Unexpected Twist?
At the Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience event during Anime Expo in Los Angeles, Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya, offered a tantalizing hint about the upcoming game. According to @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, they stated, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." They confirmed it would be a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.
Given the series' already unexpected shift to a JRPG format in the seventh mainline entry, the nature of this "surprise" remains entirely open to interpretation. Possibilities range from a rhythm game based on the popular 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!
