A New Twist?

At the Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience event during Anime Expo in Los Angeles, Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and voice actor Kazuhiro Nakaya hinted at the upcoming title. According to attendee @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, the developers stated, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised," confirming it as a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.

Given the series' shift to JRPG mechanics in Like a Dragon 7, the nature of this "surprise" is wide open to speculation. Possibilities range from a rhythm game based on the popular karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring other series characters, or even a remake or sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-only Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The possibilities are endless, and the anticipation is palpable.
