SEGA and RGG Studio have released an extended look at Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, and we won't beat around the bush: this is set up to be another amazing Kiryu adventure. The story stuff looks deliciously dramatic, and the gameplay — particularly the combat — looks like an absolute blast. The wait for its November launch just got a lot harder.
We're also given a glimpse of the game's optional activities — which are typically nuts. We've got live action hostess dates, classic karaoke, and the return of model car racing. Plus darts, golf, billiards, and a suite of SEGA arcade titles. Oh, and you can even customise Kiryu's appearance, using accessories and outfits. What a time to be alive.
But that's not all! The above trailer reveals that Like a Dragon Gaiden will include a 'Special Trial Version' of next year's Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. It'll be available to download when Gaiden releases on the 9th November.
It's a good day to be a Like a Dragon fan, then. Are you looking forward to Gaiden? Feel the pain of Kiryu crying in the comments section below.

I want Infinite Wealth so bad
@LordAinsley Don't we all!
@LordAinsley I too want Infinite Wealth. Oh and Like A Dragon 8 looks pretty cool as well
I just recently got into this series and loving it. Currently playing Yakuza 6 now so I'm all about this update.
No physical version sucks. I'll probably wait until they release one, or just import the asian version.
@mariomaster96 FYI - Like a Dragon 8 is Infinite Wealth - they renamed it.
@JbumiSandra FYI that was a joke ^^
Can't wait for both games!
Cannot wait. Looking forward to this more than just about any game coming out in the foreseeable future, Spider Man notwithstanding.
I'm really hoping a physical version pops at some point, although I probably won't wait on that for once.
Game looks so good, can't wait.
I just pre-ordered a physical copy (with English subs) from Playasia since it will be otherwise digital-only in the west 🐉
I've never played any of these games I wouldn't even know which one to start with.
@Broosh
Is this better than Amazon.co.jp? I paid about the same price but is Playasia a better option customer service-wise?
@MikeOrator Honestly I can't say for sure. This is my first Playasia order, so I'm hoping for the best. I have used Amazon.co.jp before and didn't have any issues, so I'd think you're safe either way.
@Broosh
I have never needed a physical copy of a game so bad as to want to order this way. I hope it works out well for both of us as this game looks to be an absolute stunner!
@Bagwag82
Yakuza 0 should be the start of your Bromance with Kiryu and Goro. Some people say play in order or release but Yakuza 0 is too good to wait that long to play.
@MikeOrator I ordered a game from them before. I think it was a physical copy of Disco Elysium because I (mistakenly) thought the physical release was limited. Didn't have any issues. Shipping took a little longer but that's a small quibble.
Great time to be a Like a Dragon/ Yakuza fan. Bad time to be a physical copy purchaser...
Bakamitai on karaoke or no sale.
My favorite dating sim is back
I'm a simple man. I see my boy Kiryu, I buy. Sega pretty much has my November on lock with this and P5T.
@Cherip-the-Ripper
Ya... that's going to be a tough trophy to explain to the wife...lol...
I wonder what that trophy will be called.
What does everyone else think?
@MikeOrator apparently Kiryu's not a virgin (anymore), can't relate to the guy anymore.

lol...that clip gives me "I have so touched a boob" vibes...
Oh man! My favourite series ever looks like it’s getting back to its best. My most anticipated pancake game without a doubt. Love that they’ve gone back to live action too!
Shame it’s digital only, but this is one franchise I don’t mind paying a premium for.
I was on my way to Kabukicho when I read this fantastic news. I went to the batting center to celebrate. Already pre-ordered and cannot wait
