Another Surprising Shift?

On the third day of Anime Expo in Los Angeles, California, Ryu Ga Gotoku (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 the voice actor of Ichiban Kasuga, Kazuhiro Nakaya.

During the event, studio representatives tantalized fans with hints about their upcoming game. They stated, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." This intriguing revelation was shared by user @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, who also confirmed that the game is a new entry in the Like a Dragon series.

The surprise element is particularly thrilling given that the seventh mainline game in the series transitioned from the traditional action beat 'em up to a full-on JRPG. This new "surprising" entry could potentially explore new genres, such as a rhythm game centered around the beloved karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring other series characters, or even a remake or sequel to previous spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan.
