A new beginning, a new protagonist

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a new path in the series. The story of Kazama Kiryu, the perennial protagonist throughout all the chapters, ended her story in Yakuza 6. From now on, new narrative paths are opened by the hand of a new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, who spent 18 years in jail for a crime you did not commit. The most notable mechanical change occurs in the battle system, which abandons the action in real time to switch to turn-based combat.

Beyond this installment, the future of the saga depends on the fans, as producer Masayoshi Yokoyama assures: "Basically, the next thing we do depends on the feedback from the players with Yakuza: Like a Dragon". Although his will is to continue the story of Ichiban, he does not leave closed the possibility of producing a spin-off or a game with several protagonists.
