Like a Dragon, the saga previously known as Yakuza, is going through its best moment, and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is fully aware of it. After the huge success achieved by their latest titles, especially Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the Japanese studio claims to have started working on their next video game.
According to Video Games Chronicle, the company has offered fans a brief preview of their next project they are working on. During their “Essence of Fandom” event at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio stated: “We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I can tell you that it will surprise you.” Later, fans also confirmed that the announcement was related to the next game in the Like a Dragon saga, of which nothing is known at the moment.
For now, the studio has not revealed whether it would be a new installment of the main series, a spin-off (Judgement?), or even a remake. With the success of Infinite Wealth, it would be logical to think that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is already working on the third part of the Ichiban Kasuga saga, although the studio’s plans may go in other directions in the coming years.
With the upcoming release of the Yakuza series on Amazon Prime Video, the studio could have continued with the remakes of Kazuma Kiryu’s saga, which currently has two titles: Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2, in order to make the saga more accessible to a lot more people. Will it be then, Like a Dragon Kiwami 3? Let’s dream.
