Yakuza: Like a dragon will launch on November 13 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, announced publisher Sega and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.
Yakuza: Like a dragon will also be available for Xbox Series X on day one of the console release in November, and also for PlayStation 5 at a later date.
Sega also released a new trailer called “How Will You Rise?”, Which shows protagonist Ichiban Kasuga alongside partymates Nanba, Saeko and Adachi, as they alternate between some of the more than 20 unique jobs (classes ) which are available throughout the game. Ichiban sees himself as the main character in an RPG and his battles take the form of turn-based RPG battles.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
Rise Like a Dragon
Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking grunt of a low-ranking yakuza family in Tokyo, faces up to 18 years in prison after pleading guilty to a crime he did not commit. Never losing confidence, he loyally earns his time and returns to society to discover that no one on the outside was waiting for him, and his clan was destroyed by the man he most respected.
Ichiban sets out to discover the truth behind the betrayal of his family and takes back his life, drawing a ragtag group of society broadcasts to his side: Adachi, a rogue cop, Nanba, a homeless ex-nurse, and Saeko, a hostess on a mission. Together, they are drawn into a conflict that is brewing beneath the surface in Yokohama and must rise up to become the heroes they never thought they were.
