Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Sega announced a new spin-off game from the mainline Yakuza franchise today. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will feature Kazuma Kiryu in a new "classic high-octane" action game that will fill in what he has been up to between Yakuza 6 and the upcoming Like a Dragon 8.
The Fourth Chairman of the Tojo Clan (for all of a day) is back once more. The trailer, seen below, shows Kiryu meditating at a temple, seeking forgiveness for what he's done. The outside world believes him to be dead. Despite his attempts to live a peaceful life, Kiryu finds himself drawn back to the ways of his old life and takes on the alias of Joryu.
RGG says that this game will be about half as long as a typical Yakuza game and despite being a spinoff, will feature events that are canon to Kiryu's life.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will be out in 2023 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
