Yakuza programmer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio hasn’t really chosen Like a Dragon 8‘s last name.
Speaking to Automaton Media lately at Tokyo Game Show 2022, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama discussed the upcoming title. It ends up that although the follow up was disclosed as “Like a Dragon 8” last month in September, the workshop hasn’t totally chosen this name for the brand-new game.
According to the meeting with Yokoyama, we might well wind up with a follow up called Yakuza: Like a Dragon 2, or merely Like a Dragon 2, adhering to in the footprints of Yakuza: Like a Dragon led by beginner Ichiban Kasuga in 2020. Yokoyama disclosed Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio generally winds up observing individual responses to the names of their brand-new games, prior to choosing them.
In reality, the programmer has actually considered transforming the collection’ name in the past. Yakuza: Like a Dragon took on the Japanese collection title as its caption, as well as although Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio formerly thought about transforming Yakuza’s abroad name after the collection got extra appeal, it determined to leave it be previously.
Two titles that do have actually wrapped up names are Like a Dragon: Ishin, the remake of the long-lost Japanese samurai spin-off, as well as Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, a spin-off starring Kiryu in between Yakuza 6 as well as Like a Dragon. As the Yakuza collection raises in appeal overseas, it’s difficult to keep in mind a time when Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio had a lot taking place simultaneously.
Previously, Yokoyama disclosed in a different meeting why Yakuza: Ishin was remade instead of Kenzan, a similarly-lost Yakuza game restricted to a Japanese launch.
