RGG Studio's Next Title: A Shocking Revelation?
Another Unexpected Twist?
At the 2024 Anime Expo in Los Angeles, RGG Studio hosted the "Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience." The event, hosted by Linda "VampyBitMe" Le, featured Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya.
During the event, attendees received a tantalizing hint about the studio's upcoming project. According to @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, representatives stated, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." The tweet confirmed this will be 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 from the series' action-adventure roots. This new "surprise" could be anything from a rhythm game based on the popular karaoke minigame, 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 possibilities are endless, and the anticipation is palpable.
