The next Yakuza game is called Like a Dragon 8 and will feature dual protagonists, with Yakuza 7 lead Ichiban Kasuga retaining the spotlight alongside a returning Kazuma Kiryu. Details for the new game were unveiled at the Ryu ga Gotoku Summit broadcast on the SEGA Twitch channel. Also featured was remake Like a Dragon: Ishin Kiwami, which will see the much-anticipated Edo period spin-off of the series finally arrive in western territories for the first time since its original 2014 release in Japan.
According to on-stage interviews at the event featuring several of the game’s cast and developers, Kazuma Kiryu and Ichiban Kasuga will share the limelight as twin protagonists for the next Like a Dragon game, which has now officially transitioned from its previous ‘Yakuza’ branding to adopt the long-running Japanese ‘Like a Dragon’ moniker across the board.
Like a Dragon 8 will retain the turn-based RPG game style of the previous entry, and Kiryu is planned to have his own separate party - as well as a brand new silver fox hairstyle. Takaya Kuroda, who is returning once more to voice the iconic character, says that the reason for Kiryu’s new look will be revealed at a later date.
