SEGA Trademarks ‘Yakuza Wars’

As a long-time fan of the Yakuza series, I must say that the recent news about SEGA filing a trademark for ‘Yakuza Wars’ has sent my heart racing! Having followed this franchise since its humble beginnings, I can only imagine what new adventures await us in this potential next installment. The tantalizing possibility of a crossover with another beloved SEGA franchise like Sakura Wars is enough to make any Yakuza fan weak at the knees.


SEGA has filed a new trademark for ‘Yakuza Wars’ ahead of the Tokyo Game Show.

According to Twitter user Wario64, SEGA has registered the title ‘Yakuza Wars,’ potentially hinting at an upcoming installment in the beloved Like a Dragon series. This franchise is recognized for its distinctive mix of action, drama, and humor. The trademark application was made prior to the Tokyo Game Show in late September, which has sparked speculation among fans that it might not be a mere coincidence. However, the trademark does not guarantee a reveal at the event.

There’s been buzz surrounding the titles themselves, with fans speculating about a possible fusion of two popular SEGA series: Yakuza and Sakura Wars. The thought of seeing Yakuza characters in mechs is intriguing to many, but it’s important to note that no official confirmation has been made regarding this crossover.

The latest addition to the Yakuza series was titled “Like a Dragon: Infinite Fortune,” which hit the shelves in January 2024. This installment focused on Kazuma Kiryu and Ichiban Kasuga, two well-loved characters from the series, as they journeyed through Japan and Hawaii, discovering their unique landscapes.

The title was warmly received by both critics and regular viewers, earning a Metascore of 89 and a User Score of 8.4 on Metacritic. It managed to sell over a million copies during its launch week, which is quite an achievement. Now, there’s much anticipation for the next game in the series, with Yakuza Wars being a strong contender.
