Yakuza Wars Is Not What You Think; It’s a Mobile Game With a Gangster Theme
In August, a new trademark registration by SEGA surfaced online—Yakuza Wars. Many speculated that it was related to the Like a Dragon series, but details were unclear about the nature of the project. Today, we finally have a clearer picture of what Yakuza Wars is.
A banner about Yakuza Wars surfaced on Facebook, revealing more insight. The banner features familiar characters like Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima, suggesting their involvement in the game. Published by BBGAME, a well-known mobile game publisher under SEGA’s license, it turns out Yakuza Wars is not an action RPG or an open-world game like other entries in the Like a Dragon series. Instead, it is a mobile strategy game with a gangster theme.
Although mobile ads and early promotional materials have surfaced, they haven’t yet revealed any gameplay details. SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will reveal more information at the RGG Summit 2024, scheduled for late September, including the next entry in the Like a Dragon series.
The reveal of Yakuza Wars as a mobile game might leave some fans disappointed. Given the success of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth earlier this year, many anticipated a more traditional entry in the series.
About Yakuza Wars (translated from Chinese to English via Google Translate):
