Yakuza: Like a Dragon Coming This November
Today, Sega revealed more details on its upcoming title, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, the latest installment in the Yakuza series. The game will officially be coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam upon release. It will also be an Xbox Series X launch title with a PlayStation 5 version currently in the works.
Sega also revealed that the game would support Xbox Series X Smart Delivery, which means players who buy the game on Xbox One will also have access to the game for free on the Xbox Series X with a cross-save function included. A PlayStation 5 upgrade path is also being planned and will be announced at a later date.
Also announced was the English voice cast of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which features legendary film actor George Takei who’s best known for his role as Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek. In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, he plays the role of Masumi Arakawa, a powerful patriarch whose dissolution of the Tojo Clan’s yakuza empire sets the game’s conflict into motion.
