Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a full remake of the Japan-only Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin!. Built on Unreal Engine 4 for the first time in the series, this remake also marks the debut of this Yakuza spinoff for Western audiences. An official synopsis follows:
Like a Dragon: Ishin is an action-adventure historical thriller set uniquely in 1860s Kyo, a fictionalized version of Kyoto. While other games tell earlier stories in Japanese history, Ishin lets you experience the story of how the iconic samurai era vanished. Our hero, Sakamoto Ryoma, is a true historical figure largely credited with overthrowing the shogunate and taking Japan into a radical reformation.
