The wait for Yakuza: Like a Dragon is only a few months away. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled here for more Yakuza coverage when the game releases. The game features a brand new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga who, similar to Kiryu Kazuma, also served a lengthy jail sentence for something he didn’t do.
Now he’s back in Kamurocho to try and get to the bottom of this. Yakuza: Like a Dragon shows its commitment to the absurd hijinks of the franchise despite the change in both protagonist and combat system.
