Another Unexpected Twist?

At the Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience event during Anime Expo in Los Angeles, Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Ichiban Kasuga's voice actor, Kazuhiro Nakaya, hinted at the upcoming title. They teased attendees with the statement, "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. The tweet confirmed the new game will be a fresh addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.

Given the series' unexpected shift to a JRPG format with the seventh mainline entry, speculation is rife. The "surprise" could encompass a variety of possibilities: 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 possibilities are endless, leaving fans eagerly anticipating further details.
