Return to the Genesis Era
Ryu ga Gotoku Studio is set to release a new spin-off in the long-running Yakuza series, Yakuza: Like a Dragon Ishin! The game will be a prequel to the main series and will be set in 1860s Japan. Players will take on the role of Sakamoto Ryoma, a legendary samurai who fought against the shogunate during the Bakumatsu period.
Like a Dragon Ishin! will be a major departure from the main Yakuza series, as it will be set in the past and will feature a more traditional samurai combat system. The game will also be the first in the series to be released on the Sega Genesis.
No More Modern Setting
The Yakuza series has been known for its modern setting and its focus on the criminal underworld of Japan. However, Like a Dragon Ishin! will take players back to the series' roots, as it will be set in the same time period as the original Yakuza game. This will be a welcome change for fans of the series who have been clamoring for a return to the more traditional setting.
A New Setting
Like a Dragon Ishin! will also be the first game in the series to be set outside of Japan. The game will take place in Hawaii, which was a popular destination for Japanese immigrants in the 19th century. This will give the game a unique setting and will allow players to explore a different side of Japanese culture.
Same Great Gameplay
Despite the changes in setting and combat, Like a Dragon Ishin! will still retain the same great gameplay that fans of the series have come to expect. The game will feature a mix of action, adventure, and RPG elements, and it will be sure to keep players entertained for hours on end.
Release Date
Yakuza: Like a Dragon Ishin! is set to be released on February 21, 2023, for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game will be available in both physical and digital formats.
