NocturneYakuza: Like a Dragon
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is shaking up its long-standing series with a fresh take on the RPG genre, set in the bustling streets of Yokohama. The game introduces a completely new cast and a vibrant, modern city backdrop, but the heart of the series remains intact—packed with side quests, minigames, and over-the-top storytelling.
This time around, players step into the shoes of Ichiban Kasuga, an avid RPG fan who uses his imagination to navigate battles, visualizing combat as if he's living inside his favorite games. The combat system is a standout, with a new dynamic that takes the genre in bold directions—tracking away from typical swords and spells. Instead, you'll level up a diverse roster of 19 ‘Jobs,’ from Bodyguards and Musicians to other unique roles, each with their own skills and gameplay styles.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon isn’t just about new systems; it keeps the series’ signature humor and chaos, with over 50 substories and a variety of mini-games, including returning favorites like Karaoke and SEGA Arcades. The game promises to deliver the series’ trademark mix of drama, comedic moments, and frenetic action.
Set for release on Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, Windows 10 PC, and Steam simultaneously in Western territories, the game offers a fresh spin for both longtime fans and newcomers. Though details about its Asian release are still to come, players can expect to dive into Yokohama’s colorful streets, meet a cast of memorable characters, and crack some skulls in style. More gameplay info and details about classes and recruitable party members will surface in the coming months.
