Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name released a new trailer, and additional details emerged from the PlayStation store. Bridging the gaps between the sixth, seventh, and eighth installments in the Like a Dragon series, this game returns to the brawler style of the earlier installments. The game releases November 9, 2023 on Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and the Windows Store.

The game marks the return of the previous series protagonist, Kiryu Kazuma, after being replaced by his successor in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

Additional details have emerged via the PlayStation store.

ERASE YOUR PAST TO PROTECT YOUR FUTURE
Once a legendary yakuza, Kazuma Kiryu faked his own death and abandoned his name for the sake of protecting his family. Now, he is thrust into conflict by a mysterious figure attempting to drive him out of hiding.

Under the codename “Joryu,” Kiryu embarks on a gripping action narrative with bone-shattering combat in vibrant locations filled with exciting characters and activities.

ULTIMATE COMBAT WITH TWO HIGH-IMPACT FIGHTING STYLES
Dynamically switch between the Yakuza and Agent fighting styles in visceral melee combat.

With the Yakuza style, strike fear into enemies by unleashing wildly aggressive moves powered by Kiryu’s unparalleled strength and flair.

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.

Strategically adapt to the situation and leverage both styles to dominate and destroy hordes of enemies.

ENDLESS ENTERTAINMENT
Whether you’re brawling in the secret Castle arena, singing a new karaoke song, enjoying a drink at the live-action cabaret club, or racing in the pocket circuit, the world offers a variety of immersive experiences.

An intriguing informant named Akame also provides thrilling sub-missions, drawing you into an epic showdown that unfolds the more you explore and enjoy Sotenbori, Yokohama and the mysterious Castle.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

Pre-Order DLC has been announced, which adds series characters like Majima, Saejima, and Dojima Daigo to the arena. Other DLC may be announced at a later date. Ideally, this DLC will continue to be an improvement over the abusive DLC available for Like a Dragon: Ishin.

Players who purchase the PlayStation 4 version of the game will receive the PlayStation 5 digital version for free, but only if they own a PlayStation 5 with a disc drive.
