The subsequent mainline Yakuza game is treading a whole lot of new territory. Yakuza: Like A Dragon is ditching sequence protagonist Kazuma Kiryu in favor of latest hero Ichiban Kasgua. They’re shuffling up the same old punch ’em up fight in favor of a turn-based system. Oh, and there’s going to be English voice appearing. No, no, don’t go! It truly sounds fairly first rate. You can hear the forged in a brand new English language trailer under.
Sega have introduced the English forged for a number of of the principle characters, together with none aside from George Takei as patriarch Masumi Arakawa. Your social gathering of protagonists are being portrayed by Kaiji Tang as Ichiban, Andrew Morgado as ex-cop Adachi, Greg Chun as former nurse Nanba, and Elizabeth Maxwell as Saeko the hostess membership supervisor.
I’m not right here to litigate the subs versus dubs debate. I’ve watched my share of anime with English voice appearing and performed loads of JRPGs that method too, however I’ve gotten fairly used to Yakuza’s authentic Japanese performances. Maybe it received’t really feel so unsuitable since we’re following a handful of latest characters. In addition to English voice appearing, Like A Dragon may also have subtitles in French, German, Italian, and Spanish, the brand new video reveals.
Thanks to Alice0 I’ve additionally been cursed with the data that the unique Yakuza game did in reality have English voice appearing. It’s certain one thing. No hate for Mark Hamill, however I by no means ever need to hear him say “Kazuma-chan” once more. (To be clear, under is Yakuza Kiwami footage with the English voice appearing from the unique Yakuza.)
Sega have additionally introduced the three completely different variations accessible for Like A Dragon, you realize, paying extra to get the particular costumes and all. You can discover out what’s included in every model over on Sega’s website.
Sega say that Yakuza: Like A Dragon will launch in November, although they don’t point out a selected date. You can discover it on Steam and the Microsoft Store for £55/€60/$60.
