Yakuza spin-off Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name arrives November 9 this year according to a PlayStation Store leak.
As reported by Gematsu, new details for Like a Dragon Gaiden appeared on PlayStation Store price tracking website PSDeals, suggesting the game now exists in the store’s backend even if it’s not available to view publicly.
A synopsis of the game arrived alongside the release date leak. “Once a legendary yakuza, Kazuma Kiryu faked his own death and abandoned his name for the sake of protecting his family,” it said. “Now, he is thrust into conflict by a mysterious figure attempting to drive him out of hiding.”
The description also highlights two distinct fighting styles available to players: the aggressive Yakuza style and the gadget-infused Agent style.
“With the Yakuza style, strike fear into enemies by unleashing wildly aggressive moves powered by Kiryu’s unparalleled strength and flair,” the post said. “Or up the ante with the Agent style by delivering blows with absolute speed and precision, while using an array of high-tech gadgets like electrified bind wires to stun enemies then send them flying.”
Little has been said about Like a Dragon Gaiden, which will connect Yakuza 6 with the upcoming Like a Dragon 8, since it was announced in September 2022. The release date, alongside these other details, will likely be announced officially at the RGG Summit: Summer 2023 showcase taking place on June 15.
