The mystery man says a certain individual needs to be escorted. But as is Yakuza tradition, there’s a job that needs to be done. Kiryu replies saying it’s just a front for the Daidoji faction and has some contentious back-and-forth. A new character approaches, who says he’s the 100th desciple of the Daidoji Temple. An older man talks to him about leaving his previous life behind, striking a nerve with Kiryu when he mentions family. The trailer shows Kiryu meditating in a samue. He also said it should clear things up for those who didn’t play the previous Yakuza games in the Kiryu saga. It won’t be a full-fledged game in terms of length - Yokoyama said it isn’t as long as a mainline entry, but it will be longer than something like The Kaito Files DLC for Lost Judgment. Like a Dragon Gaiden is said to be a traditional Yakuza-style action-adventure game.
This is a separate game that tells the story of Kiryu after the events of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, and it’s intended to bridge the gap between that and the latest Yakuza: Like a Dragon games. Since this one’s name is a mouthful, we’ll just call it Like a Dragon Gaiden. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name While there’s no definitive release date yet, Like a Dragon 8 is set to launch sometime in 2024 and will be on previous and current gen platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and PC. My man finally has some gray hair, but now he’s let his hair down like he’s leading Persona 4‘s investigation team. The real news story here is Kiryu’s new haircut. The story has dual protagonists starring both Ichiban and Kiryu as they’ll be working together.
Like a Dragon 8 continues the series’ direction with turn-based RPG combat for its core gameplay. Then Kiryu says, “Guess we don’t have a choice,” to which Ichiban replies “Alright, it’s hero time…Kiryu-san!” In the trailer, you can hear several voices from different characters. The reveal trailer showed both characters Kazuma Kiryu and Kasuga Ichiban walking together under Kamurocho’s iconic red welcome sign. Like a Dragon 8 is the direct sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon (sometimes referred to as Yakuza 7).
