It’s no secret that Ryu Ga Gotoku aka RGG is currently busy working on the next Yakuza series. A teaser was also shared a while ago, showing the look of Ichiban’s face that is no longer full of her iconic afro hair. With the development process seemingly already underway, it seems rational to anticipate that Yakuza 8 will be officially announced at a special live-stream event held by RGG for the 2022 Tokyo Game Show. Turns out it will come with an interesting surprise!
SEGA and RGG have finally officially unveiled Yakuza 8 which will immediately bear the official name Like a Dragon 8. Not many details are shared here, just a 1 minute teaser which is still amazing. Instead of acting alone, the previous saga’s main character, Kazuma Kiryu, is confirmed to return to accompany Ichiban in the action. The biggest surprise of course came from the fact that Kiryu has now arrived with a new look. He shows up with more modern hair, with a dominant white color. He looks younger and older at the same time.
Like a Dragon 8 itself is expected to be released in 2024 for Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and, of course, PC. What do you think of Kiryu’s new look on this one?
