Yakuza

Following an official trademark registration from SEGA last month, a Facebook page for Yakuza Wars has been found, lending further legitimacy to it being the real deal. The kicker for fans, though, is it appears to be a mobile game rather than the next big console release. BBGame is listed as the publisher, which makes mobile titles.

The Facebook page in question also includes a description of the game, via Google Translate: "Sega's first officially authorized mobile game: Dragon Among Men, as a new classic gangster-themed masterpiece on mobile phones, it creates innovative strategic war gameplay. Here, you can fight side by side with classic characters such as Kiryu Kazuma, Kasuga Ichiban, and Majima Goro, and write your own legendary story in the underworld world." Whether Yakuza Wars is the "surprising" new game RGG Studio has mentioned in the past isn't clear, but at this point, it seems real.

You can view some artwork in the tweet below, with fans pointing out how some of it could be AI-generated as Kiryu's cigarette appears to stick out of his chin rather than his lips:

RGG Studio has announced an RGG Summit showcase will take place on 20th September 2024, where it's expected to share news of fresh titles in the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series. It now seems likely Yakuza Wars will be one of them. If it's real, would you be willing to give it a try? Let us know in the comments below.
