Sega are planning to launch Yakuza: Like a Dragon on next-gen consoles as well, although that's where launch dates get a bit hazy.
We know that Yakuza: Like a Dragon is meant to be the launch title for Xbox Series X, and since developer RGG Studio pegged it for November, we suppose this means that Microsoft's next-gen offering is coming before December.
Much like the rest of cross-gen titles, Sega will be offering a cross-buy system for Yakuza: Like a Dragon. This means that if you upgrade to PS5/XSX in the meantime, you'll be able to upgrade the game for free.
As for the game itself, Yakuza: Like a Dragon takes players to Yokohama, Japan, which is a new setting tailor-made for the game. The trailer shows new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga, as well as his loyal crewmembers Nanba, Saeko and Adachi.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon offers more than 20 unique jobs for players to dive into and hopefully rise through the ranks, hence the trailer name - "How Will You Rise?"
"In what can only be described as a meta worldview, Ichiban envisions himself the lead character in an RPG and his ensuing skirmishes take on the form of turn-based battles. If you’ve ever wanted to don a chef’s hat and sprinkle enemies with a dash of pepper to finish them off in style, we’re happy to say that no game other than Yakuza: Like a Dragon will offer you that experience", Sega wrote.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon has had a great reception in Japan so hopefully Sega and RGG do it again on the international market in November.
