Developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and publisher SEGA have officially announced Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is releasing on November 9th for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. Pre-orders are up on various store platforms for $49.99 USD. It’ll come with a bonus Legendary Fighter Pack. 

Peek the gameplay reveal trailer below:

Day 1 of Summer Game Fest confirmed the release date and gameplay of Like a Dragon Gaiden that just leaked on PS Deals. The previous rumor mentioned a potential offline multiplayer option, but the summary on the official store pages don’t corroborate it. It’s important to note that the PS Store page’s game description lists 1-2 players, though.

We’ll most likely receive answers at the RGG Summit showcase next week, which is expected to reveal more in-depth details regarding this and Like a Dragon 8.

Overview of Like A Dragon Gaiden

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name follows the story of Kazuma Kiryu, operating under the codename “Joryu.” Once a legendary yakuza, he faked his own death and abandoned his name for the sake of protecting his family. Now, he is thrust into conflict by a mysterious figure attempting to drive him out of hiding. Thrilling sub-missions will draw you into an epic showdown that unfolds the more you explore and enjoy Sotenbori and Yokohama.

ERASE YOUR PAST TO PROTECT YOUR FUTURE: Embark on a gripping action narrative with bone-shattering combat in vibrant locations filled with exciting characters and activities.

ULTIMATE COMBAT WITH TWO HIGH-IMPACT FIGHTING STYLES: Dynamically switch between the Yakuza and Agent fighting styles in visceral melee combat. With the Yakuza style, strike fear into enemies by unleashing wildly aggressive moves powered by Kiryu’s unparalleled strength and flair. Or up the ante with the Agent style by delivering blows with absolute speed and precision, while using an array of high-tech gadgets like electrified bind wires to stun enemies then send them flying.

ENDLESS ENTERTAINMENT: Whether you’re brawling in the secret Battle Arena, singing a new karaoke song, enjoying a drink at the live-action cabaret club, or racing in the pocket circuit, the world offers a variety of immersive experiences.

Pre-order now for exclusive access to the Legendary Fighter Pack featuring:

• Goro Majima – The Mad Dog of Shimano
• Taiga Saejima – The Slayer of Eighteen
• Daigo Dojima – 6th Chairman of the Tojo Clan
