RGG Studio, the developer behind the Yakuza and Judgment franchises, has announced a digital event that will take place next week, on Wednesday the 14th September. Given that the studio's Western social media accounts relayed this information, it's fair to assume that the so-called RGG Summit 2022 will be aimed at a global audience ā similar to the reveal event for Lost Judgment.
RGG Summit begins at 7PM Japan time, which translates to 11AM here in the UK, and 3AM Pacific / 6AM Eastern US times. Not particularly accommodating for those of you in America, eh?
So what are we expecting from this show? Well, the obvious answer is Yakuza: Like a Dragon 2, which we know is in development and will likely launch next year. A reveal trailer for that title seems like a very safe bet.
Anything else? Hmmm, it's hard to say. RGG Studio has always been into its ports, remakes, and remasters, but we wouldn't go into this expecting much beyond the aforementioned Like a Dragon 2 reveal. Still, this is a "summit", so additional announcements aren't completely out of the question.

'What are you hoping to see at RGG Summit 2022? '
Clouds. I think all summits should be held on mountaintops for authenticity.
My hopes are LaD2, kenzan and ishin localization, like a tiger 1+2 localization, yakuza kiwami 3 and yakuza kiwami dead souls.
My expectations are LaD2 and a kenzan and ishin remaster. Maybe some crossovers with fallguys, fortnite or some mobile games.
@darkswabber I havent played kenzan, ishin and dead souls since i dont have acces to older consoles, but love to see those revealed next to the release date of LAD 2. TBh i think we will only get some deep dive into LAD2 and a release date, but one can only dream right
The classic announcement of an announcement.
@ShogunRok and PS has announced the announcement of the announment. That's numberwang!
What I want to know is what they've been eating. Keeping up a major AAA release on average every year for the last 17+ years is incredible with a team of around 300+.
@themightyant Crunchies
Funny that, both Kiryu's and Ichiban's irezumi show on the promo image.
Here's hoping for native PS5 versions of older games like 0, localizations of Black Panther, Kenzan!, and Ishin!, Like a Dragon 2, and more, more, more.
But watch it be only LAD2, a bunch of useless merch or mobile game *****, and nothing else. Nonetheless, highlight of the year for me, nothing beats a game made by RGG Studio.
I just want no shenanigans around platforms. The unecessary wait for LAD on PS5 left a bad taste
@riceNpea OOF!
A whole summit for Ichiban? Mans going places
@riceNpea I hate you. Here is a heart for your comment.
@spyro202 ššš you sound like my missus!
Cool.more games announcements is welcome.word up son
@playstation1995 I'd be seriously concerned if it was word down for a change.
Besides Like a Dragon 2, I hope to see RGG take over and reboot the Virtua Fighter franchise.
Welp I know what I'm watching before I go to work next Wednesday!
@Golem25. Nah.its always going to. Be word up son
Mostly wish for kenzan and ishin. I'd also love to hear that they drop the live action Yakuza in favour of an animated series. A single movie cannot contain a dragon.
I sincerely am hoping for a Kiwami 3. I played through all 6 mainline Yakuza games last year in order and the jump from Kiwami 2 to a remaster of 3 was... jarring.
As excited as I am for a Like A Dragon 2, I'm also hoping for either a remake or a remaster or a port. I'd like the Dead Souls one or the Samurai ones, mainly because my partner desperately wants them and she'll be over the moon.
I also really want them to do a Yakuza 0-2.
A new Yakuza like a Dragon 2 to go with One Piece Odyssey
Yes, please... keep the jRPGs coming!
RGG studios churns out bangers within such a short period of time that other game studios should take note.
@Netret0120 It helps 1000% that they essentially re-use assets from the cities/towns of prior games and just make different businesses enterable. Not a complaint, mind you; I really dig that the cities for these games are characters themselves.
LAD2 with major improvements to the first could be epic. Iām so excited. The turn base approach was a blast!
I'll be happy with just some LaD footage, but if I can dream a little, I'd love some news on Judgment or something about Kenzan/Ishin localization.
Judgment 3 please!
