New detailed information about Kazuma Kiryu’s next adventure has been revealed even before it was officially announced. The Like a Dragon series, developed by SEGA and formerly known as Yakuza in the West, recently received a remaster of Like a Dragon: Ishin! on current consoles and PC. However, this does not mark the end of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s projects.
Like a Dragon Gaiden : The Man Who Erased His Name prévu pour le 9 novembre ?
In September 2022, the studio unveiled Like a Dragon 8 with characters Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu, slated for release in 2024. Additionally, a prequel centered on Kazuma Kiryu was also announced, titled Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. It is precisely this spin-off, initially scheduled for 2023, that interests us since the PlayStation Store accidentally revealed many details about the game. Briefly accessible to some users via their console, the page in question has already leaked on the internet and you can find its description at the end of our article.
Players would thus have the opportunity to follow the adventures of Joryu, the pseudonym used by Kazuma Kiryu after simulating his own death. Interestingly, buying the game on PS4 will allow players to play it on both Sony’s consoles at no additional cost, thanks to a free upgrade.
This leak suggests that an official announcement could be made during one of the upcoming events, such as Summer Game Fest Live or Xbox Games Showcase. Additionally, the RGG Summit Summer 2023 is scheduled for June 16, which suggests that this information could be officially unveiled on this occasion.
Like a Dragon Gaiden : The Man Who Erased His Name sortirait le jeudi 9 novembre sur PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One et PC.
ERASE YOUR PAST TO PROTECT YOUR FUTURE
Once a legendary yakuza, Kazuma Kiryu faked his own death and gave up his name to protect his family. Now he is thrown into conflict by a mysterious figure who tries to drag him out of hiding.
Codenamed ‘Joryu’, Kiryu embarks on a gripping action story with heart-pounding battles in vibrant locations filled with exciting characters and activities.
ULTIMATE COMBAT WITH TWO EXPLOSIVE COMBAT STYLES
Dynamically switch between Yakuza and Agent fighting styles in visceral melee combat.
In Yakuza style, strike fear into enemies by unleashing extremely aggressive moves fueled by Kiryu’s unparalleled strength and elegance.
Or up the ante Agent style by delivering blows with absolute speed and precision, while using an array of high-tech gadgets like electrified jumper wires to stun enemies then send them flying.
Strategically adapt to the situation and take advantage of both styles to dominate and destroy hordes of enemies.
