RGG Studio's Next Title: A Shocking Revelation?

Another Unexpected Twist?

At the 3rd day of Anime Expo in Los Angeles, RGG Studio hosted "Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience." The event, moderated by Linda “VampyBitMe” Le, featured Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya.

During the event, attendees were given a tantalizing hint about the upcoming game: "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." This was reported by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, who confirmed it's a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.

Given the series' shift from action beat 'em up to a full-fledged JRPG in its seventh mainline installment, the nature of this "surprise" remains highly speculative. Possibilities range from a rhythm game based on the popular karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring other series characters, or even a remake/sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The anticipation is palpable!
