Another Unexpected Twist?

At the Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience event during Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles, Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya, hinted at their upcoming project. The only clue offered was, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised," as reported by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter. He confirmed this would be a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.

Given the series' already unexpected shift to a JRPG format with the seventh mainline entry, the nature of this "surprise" remains wide open. Possibilities range from a rhythm game based on the popular karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring other series characters, or even a remake or sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The anticipation is palpable!
