RGG Studio's Next Title: A Shocking Revelation?

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, hinted at the upcoming game. They stated, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised," as reported by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter. The tweet confirmed the new title will be a fresh addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.

Given the already unexpected shift to a full JRPG in Like a Dragon 7, the nature of this "surprise" remains highly speculative. Possibilities range from a rhythm game based on the series' popular karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring other beloved 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.
