Sega Files Trademark for Yakuza Wars in Japan

Sega has filed a trademark for “Yakuza Wars” in Japan. This new trademark hints at a potential new video game, indicating that Sega might be planning another exciting addition to their lineup.

The trademark filing comes on the heels of Like a Dragon studio’s tease that their next game will “surprise” fans. This has led to speculation about the nature of Yakuza Wars. Some believe it could be a new entry or a spin-off in the Like a Dragon series, previously known as Yakuza in the West.

Moreover, the Yakuza series, now rebranded as Like a Dragon, has seen various experimental spin-offs, including samurai and zombie-themed games. This history of diverse titles supports the idea that Yakuza Wars could offer something unexpected. It could potentially expand on previous game mechanics, like the clan battle system, or even introduce a new genre to the series.

Adding to the excitement, a live-action adaptation titled Like a Dragon: Yakuza is set to premiere on Amazon Prime in October. Furthermore, the series will feature six episodes, with the first three releasing on October 25 and the remaining on November 1.
