SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio announced that a remake of the classic PS3 Yakuza game, Like a Dragon: Ishin!, is heading to Xbox Series, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, and PC next year. Watch the official announcement trailer and learn more about the upcoming game on @XONEHQ.
Like a Dragon: Ishin! is an action-adventure historical thriller set uniquely in 1860s Kyo, a fictionalized version of Kyoto. While other games tell earlier stories in Japanese history, Like a Dragon: Ishin! lets you experience the story of how the iconic samurai era vanished. Our hero, Sakamoto Ryoma, is a true historical figure largely credited with overthrowing the shogunate and taking Japan into a radical reformation.
Like a Dragon: Ishin brings in familiar faces to tell this epic historical tale. Fans will recognize our protagonist as Kazuma Kiryu from earlier entries in the franchise. In Like a Dragon: Ishin!, Kiryu is cast as Sakamoto Ryoma and brings the rest of his crew along too. Goro Majima and other Yakuza celebrities join Ryoma as friends and foes in this fictional world that trades the flashy streets of Tokyo for the chaotic bustle of 1860s Kyo. These new character dynamics are as thrilling as they are unexpected, with a series of mind-blowing twists and turns in a story only Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio can tell.
Yakuza: Ishin! Like a Dragon: Ishin! launches February 2023 on Xbox Series, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
