September 20 is Going to Be a Massive Day for Yakuza: Like a Dragon Fans

Key Takeaways

  • Yakuza/Like a Dragon developer to drop major news on September 20.
  • The next Yakuza game is expected to be revealed on that day.

As a devoted Yakuza fan with over a decade of gaming under my belt, I can barely contain my excitement! The news that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will be revealing major updates for the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series on September 20 is music to my ears.

On September 20th, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio – the team behind Yakuza/Like a Dragon – plans to unveil significant updates. Known for its unique blend, the Yakuza series seamlessly transitions from intense crime dramas to humorous, exaggerated comedies within its side missions. Throughout each game’s main narrative, you’ll find a wealth of lighthearted side content that includes RC cars, pranks, and cabaret clubs among other things.

It has been announced that updates for the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series will be shared during the Tokyo Game Show, which takes place from September 26th to September 29th. The developer’s presentation is expected to occur during the TGS livestream on September 26th, from 10 am to 10:50 am Eastern Time.

On September 20, six days prior to the 2024 Tokyo Game Show, Ryu Ga Gotoku plans to disclose information about their upcoming game. This announcement will take place during a live stream at 3am Pacific Time (PT), 6am Eastern Time (ET), or 11am in the United Kingdom (UK). The event is expected to verify the next installment in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series from the Japanese studio. It remains unclear whether the game being unveiled will be the main sequel for Yakuza/Like a Dragon, or if multiple titles are set to be presented.

September 20 Will Reveal the Next Yakuza Game

For enthusiasts of the Yakuza series who possess a Nintendo Switch, there’s exciting news on the horizon: during a recent Nintendo Direct, it was announced that Yakuza Kiwami will be making its way to the console. The port is scheduled for release on October 24 and represents a complete remake of the original Yakuza game, which debuted in 2005. Fans who have already enjoyed Yakuza Kiwami on Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC will now have another opportunity to play it, as the Nintendo Switch version is a long-awaited eighth anniversary release of the title.

The Yakuza series is well known for shifting between its serious tone in the mainline story and a more casual and humorous tone during sidequests known as sidestories. A live-action Yakuza TV show from Amazon Prime is in the works. However, the show will focus on the main story beats and avoid any of the lighthearted sidestory source material. The show will be called Like a Dragon: Yakuza and will release in two batches on October 25 and November 1, 2024, for fans to binge.
