RGG Studio Says Their Next Title Will Be ‘Surprising’ -----------------------------------------------------Another Surprising Shift?
At this year's Anime Expo in Los Angeles, California, Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) Studio hosted the Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience on its third day. The event, led by host Linda “VampyBitMe” Le, featured Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and Voice Actor of Ichiban Kasuga, Kazuhiro Nakaya.
During the event, the studio representatives tantalized fans with hints about their upcoming game, stating, "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." This tease was captured and shared by user @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, who confirmed that it pertains to a new entry in the Like a Dragon series.
Given that the seventh mainline game in the series unexpectedly transitioned to a full JRPG from its traditional action beat 'em up style, the prospect of another "surprising" entry sparks curiosity. This could range from a rhythm game centered around the beloved karaoke mini-game, a spin-off highlighting other series characters, or even a remake or sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan.
