At the RGG Studio Summit 2022, Yakuza series developer Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) showcased three different “Like a Dragon” titles.

Yakuza 8 will feature Kiryu and Ichiban as dual protagonists, where Kiryu will have his own party. Also announced at the RGG Summit is that moving forward, RGG is dropping the word “Yakuza” from all its upcoming game titles.
