Kodoani.com – SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) Studio have revealed a new story trailer in English for the adventure RPG “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth” (Ryū ga Gotoku 8) titled “Bucket List”.
The companies will broadcast “RGG Like a Dragon Day Roundup” on December 8 at 6pm EST on Sega’s Twitch channel. The broadcast will introduce the gameplay of “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth”. “Like a Dragon Day” commemorates the Yakuza (Ryū ga Gotoku) game series launched in 2005.
The game is expected to launch on January 26 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Windows and Steam.
RGG Studio describes the game’s story, “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth,” as being about “a series of unexpected events that take two legendary former yakuza, Kasuga Ichiban and Kazuma Kiryu, on a larger-than-life adventure as are the two main playable characters.” The story involves Kasuga Ichiban’s journey to Honolulu to find his mother (thus marking the first international setting in the series) and Kazuma Kiryu’s cancer.
The game is a direct sequel to “Yakuza: Like a Dragon.” Sega announced the game in September 2022 as the eighth and newest mainline game in the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series.
Former Yakuza member Kazuma Kiryu is the protagonist of the first six main games in the Yakuza series, as well as the prequel game “Yakuza 0.” “Yakuza: Like A Dragon,” titled “Ryū ga Gotoku 7: Hikari to Yami no Yukue” (Yakuza 7: The Direction of Light and Dark) in Japan, stars Ichiban Kasuga. Sega released the game for PS4 in Japan in January 2020 and in the West in November 2020.
