SEGA has announced the sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Like a Dragon 8. This game will feature both Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu. Kiryu will also have a new look with a hairstyle. This new look actually gives me some Dante-vibes, but perhaps this is just me. Like a Dragon 8 will release in 2024, and below you can find its announcement trailer!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Kyriu, the 54 year old boomer, now with emo gray hair so the devs can pretend they aged his model.
in yakuza 7 his hair was still full black ahah
cross-gen title in 2024? oh boi …
Yakuza don’t need a lot of fancy graphics, they could make the game cross-gen including even the PS3 and it woudn’t change a lot.
They were still making most of games on PS3 as well to be fair, when they were releasing them in Japan only, before the Western releases.
When a long-running franchise turns from real-time combat to turn-based no one bats an eye (Baldur’s Gate and Yakuza, the only two I care about), but the other way around and everyone loses their goddamned mind; the whining never stops.
huh ? did you leaved on an other planet ? many people don’t like turn based yakuza7
What whining?
It’s one of the best selling titles.
Final Fantasy whining for example.
Yeah, I misread his post.
Baldur’s Gate is based on tabletop rpg’s, so it should have been turn based from the start. And speaking of which, does the new Baldur’s Gate have any continuity with the ones made by Bioware? Or the hack and slash console games?
Why is it called Like a Dragon 8?
It should be Yakuza 8 or Like a Dragon 2.
Because the series in Japan is originally known as Like a Dragon, and it looks like Sega has now decided to rename the series to that outside of Japan.
Japanese title is Ryu Ga Gotoku
Yes, which translates to Like a Dragon.
Ichiban is lame azz successor comparing to Kiryu. And now they bring back Kiryu in 8th game because how popular he is.
