SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio officially announced Like A Dragon: Ishin!, a remake of the adventure project Ryu Ga Gotoku: Ishin! , a historic spin-off from the Yakuza series, released in Japan on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 back in 2014.
During this time, the original game was not published in the West and remained a Japanese exclusive. Fans have been asking for localization for almost ten years.
Instead, SEGA decided to completely upgrade the project and release it worldwide under the new Western brand Yakuza — Like a Dragon.
The debut trailer Like A Dragon: Ishin! can be found below:In Japanese:As noted in the announcement, Like A Dragon: Ishin!
is a modern adaptation of Ryu Ga Gotoku: Ishin! , fully preserving the original game content, but with an updated visual part.
The project is based on Unreal Engine 4 — the first time in the history of the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio team, previously working on their proprietary solutions, such as the Dragon Engine, on which the last Yakuza and its branches Judgment and Lost Judgment were created.
Events like A Dragon: Ishin! unfold in 1860 in the fictional Japanese city of Kyoto, based on the real Kyoto.
At the heart of the story is the fate of Sakamoto Ryoma, a real public and political figure in Japan who is credited with playing a major role in the struggle against the Tokugawa Shogunate and the subsequent period of radical reform.
As part of the game, the role of Sakamoto Ryoma is played by such Kuroda — seiyu Kazuma Kiryu from the main series Yakuza, who also gave the character his appearance.
The project will include other heroes familiar with Yakuza, but completely new. Gameplay implies the traditional structure for old Yakuza.
Players will be able to explore a densely populated area of a vibrant city full of optional activities, support missions, mini-games and random battles.
All this acts as a background for a long and rich story campaign. World premiere Like A Dragon: Ishin!
expected in February 2023 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
More about the project should be told today at 13:00 Moscow time — as part of a special broadcast of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. A full-fledged announcement of Yakuza 8 is expected there.
