It seems that Yakuza: Like a Dragon has received an official release date and Sony hasn't even decided to kick up a fuss about it. Available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store right now, the current-gen version is coming to PlayStation 4 on 13th November 2020. Don't forget that there will also be a PlayStation 5 version further down the line, with an upgrade path available should you purchase the game on PS4. We don't know if that will be free just yet, however.
The PlayStation Store lists three different versions of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, each bundling in more and more DLC in exchange for extra cash. At its height, the Legendary Hero Edition includes a "Job Set, Crafting Mat Set, Management Mode Set, Karaoke Set, Ultimate Costume Set, and Stat Boost Set DLC." That version will set you back £74.99/$89.99.
So, there we have it. The eighth mainline Yakuza entry, featuring a brand new protagonist, is officially dated for this November. Will you be taking on these new turn-based battles? Power up in the comments below.

Still charging extra for NG+ and Hardmode on the "western" release?
The DLC is absolute nonsense but good that we’re finally getting a release date.
@Makina We don't know, but there's nothing in the descriptions of the announced DLC packs (6 of which are included in the most expensive digital edition) to indicate they are.
@dancingstar93 Yeah, i read it too but they don't mention it.
Hope they just add it to the vanilla version.
Persona 5R has some content that was DLC on the Japanese version but not on "western" version.
I know what I am playing in November 😃
Can't wait. Not sure when I'll ever get around to it but... Hype!
Really looking forward to this, but November looks utterly ridiculous right now. Especially if the PS5 launches then as well.
I'm hyped to give the new combat system a try.
Getting this in November then.
Still not sure I'm going to get it. Love the series but can never seem to get over my disdain for turn-based gameplay no matter how hard I've tried for certain releases.
Decent release date, can remove this from TBA now.
@grahamd just bear in mind that Yakuza 7 is taking a shift to a spin on turn based combat (still looks fun).
Check out gameplay vids of this compared to one of the previous Yakuza titles (particularly Yakuza 0 / Yakuza 6) before deciding which title to jump in with.
I'm excited for this game's new combat. I recently made a Japanese PSN account and downloaded the demo and it was pretty fun
@get2sammyb I wonder if this will be backwards compat without the upgrades ? If so I can see this getting major usage on the ps5 -?it looks great either way
@Unffclcntrllerpd it should be since Sony are implementing a "must run on PS5 policy" for games released August onwards.
I'm excited for this game as I love how bonkers the rest of the series is!
@jsw-8 that’s a great point , I love the series so being able to play it on my new ps5 upgrade or not will be awesome
Il wait for the ps5 version because there's no mention of it being backwards compatible.
Still trying to plat Yakuza Kiwami that was given away with plus like 9 years ago. F everything about the minigames in this game but other than that I really enjoyed it, will hopefully get through the series at some point...
Great news..........a couple of comments did mention November via Xbox so no surprise..........busy end of year.
