Like A Dragon Sequel Ichiban-San bares his soul.
Ichiban-san makes a triumphant return, reclaiming his top spot! Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the developers behind Yakuza: Like a Dragon, delighted fans during the Xbox showcase by offering a sneak peek into the next chapter of the saga—Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
In a delightfully quirky trailer that captures the essence of the Yakuza series, the charismatic main character Ichiban, boasting his signature luscious hair, finds himself in an amusingly awkward situation. Stranded on a beach and utterly naked, Ichiban awakens to the reactions of English speakers who seem to respond with a mix of astonishment and, quite conspicuously, excitement. It's a humorous moment that quickly takes an unexpected twist when Ichiban realizes he's no longer in Japan, setting the stage for a unique adventure.
The Yakuza Studio also announced during the Summer Game Fest, a tantalizing preview of the the next upcoming Yakuza series installment. The event treated fans to a sneak peek of "Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name," a title as intriguingly extensive as the Yakuza universe itself. A welcome surprise awaits as the game welcomes back the beloved Yakuza protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu.
In this enigmatically titled game, Kazuma Kiryu returns in a truly unexpected role - that of a web-slinging secret agent. The shift from his previous appearances, notably in "Yakuza 6: The Song of Life," showcases the dynamic versatility of the Yakuza series. This unexpected twist is bound to intrigue fans, who are already eager to step into Kiryu's shoes once again and unravel the mystery surrounding his transformation.
The Yakuza series' knack for blending drama, humor, and captivating storytelling is well-evidenced by this latest addition. With charismatic characters, unexpected scenarios, and a touch of over-the-top flair, the Yakuza universe continues to evolve in exciting and unforeseen directions. As fans eagerly await more details about this intriguingly titled game, the promise of yet another captivating adventure with Kazuma Kiryu at the helm is enough to set hearts racing.
Look forward to the release of Infinite Wealth in 2024, available on Xbox and PlayStation platforms.
