Sega has revealed that it will release Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the next entry in the long-running franchise, in the West this November. It will be out on 12th November according to a Microsoft pre-order page.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon was released on P4 in Japan in January. Sega has revealed that this time it will include an English voice du option. George Takei of Star Trek fame, who plays a villain named Masumi Arakawa is the most recongnizable name among the cast. He’s a powerful patriarch whose dissolution of the Tojo Clan’s Yakuza empire sets into motion the conflict at the heart of this complex, winding narrative. There will also be subtitle for Spanish, English, German, Italian, and French. You will only need to buy it once to play on that console or Xbox One because the game will support Xbox Series X Smart Delivery and there will be a cross function. Promising more details about that later, Sega says it’s planning a PS5 upgrade path as well. There are a few different editions of Yakuza: Like A Dragon. There’s a physical steelbook version and the base day Ichi Edition costs $59.99 on all platforms. A legends costume pack is up for grabs as a pre-order bonus. With more employees for the Management Mode minigame, the $69.99 Hero Edition adds a couple of playable jobs and a Management Mode Set. The $89.99 Legendary Hero Edition includes all of that, along with in-game crafting, stat boost sets, ultimate costume, and Karaoke.
Yakuza: Like A Dragon is coming to PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4 on day one, and it will be Xbox Series X launch title whenever that console comes out. Sega confirmed a PS5 version is in the works for Western audiences, though you will have to wait a bit longer for that.
