Yakuza Warsfirst details leaked on social media may have revealed the identity of the new game. This intellectual property was registered by SEGA in July, but the Japanese company has not made any announcement about this product.
Yakuza Wars Details Leaked
Fans ofYakuza/Like a Dragonare excited about the future of the franchise. In January, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio demonstrated their great talent by crafting the best game in the series, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which could be a strong candidate for GOTY 2024 at The Game Awards.
As for the next steps, the Yakuza saga will debut on Nintendo Switch with an exclusively digital version of Yakuza Kiwami. Another future avenue is Yakuza: Like a Dragon, a television series set to premiere on July 20, 2025 (the same day Kiwami launches on Switch) on Amazon Prime Video.
Additionally, RGG Studio has announced a new digital event for Friday, September 20, a week before the Tokyo Game Show 2024, where we’ll discover the new games in the series.
One of them could be Yakuza Wars, as Sega recently registered the trademark in Japan. In fact, a leak on social media may have exposed the identity of Yakuza Wars, which might not please everyone if it turns out to be true.
IsA Mobile Game?
Fans ofYakuza/Like a Dragonhave discovered a Facebook page dedicated to Yakuza Wars, which includes some details and even the main artwork of the supposed game.
However, it may not be the major title that fans of the saga are hoping for.Yakuza Warsis rumored to be a new strategy and management game for mobile devices (iOS and Android), featuring Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima.
Officially licensed by Like a Dragon and developed by the Chinese studio BBGame, Yakuza Wars would be a fun addition to the adventures seen on PC and consoles, focusing on the strategic aspect of managing your own yakuza clan.
The first images feature characters like Ichiban Kasuga, Akira Nishkiyama, Ryuji Goda, Shun Akiyama, Andre Richardson, Big Kaz, and the two already mentioned.
If you’re unfamiliar with BBGame, they are the creators of another mobile game called New Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was published by Koei Tecmo.
For now, neither Sega nor RGG Studio have confirmed this information about Yakuza Wars, so it remains just a rumor.
Perhaps Yakuza Wars won’t be the only surprise announcement at the RGG Summit on Friday, September 20. In any case, fans should manage their expectations for the event.
