Yakuza: Like A Dragon Drops a New Trailer

By Aaron Evangelisti / October 6th, 2020

Hey there, Yakuza fans. Want to see a new trailer for the upcoming Yakuza: Like A Dragon? Yeah? Well you’re in luck because Sega just released a new trailer!

In this trailer we can see, or rather, hear the shiny English dub. The Yakuza series kind of infrequently has English dubs, so this may indicate a new trend in localization. Beyond that we can see a lot of the over the top action and humor, and crazy mini-games you might come to expect from the series despite it’s departure in terms of gameplay, adapting turn-based JRPG style combat instead of series standard beat em’ up mechanics.

Yakuza: Like A Dragon launches November 10th on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBox One, XBox Series X, and PC. Checkout the press release below for more information:

IRVINE, Calif. – October 8, 2020 – SEGA has released a new trailer, “The Quest Begins” for its one-of-a kind RPG Yakuza: Like a Dragon. In the trailer, the down-and-out Yakuza scrapper, Ichiban Kasuga, describes his videogame-esque heroic journey that will take him through an amazing array of minigames in a veritable underworld playground. Yokohama features a plethora of fun and hilarious distractions, including kart racing, batting cages, SEGA arcades, high-octane vocational school tests, and the ability to manage and grow your own company! Ichiban and his ragtag crew of friends have endless fun activities to engage with as they try to restore justice to the streets of Yokohama.

That’s not all, though; the end of “The Quest Begins” features a special surprise. For the first time in the series’ history, Yakuza: Like a Dragon features English renditions of fans’ most beloved karaoke songs from previous entries in the series, as well as several brand-new songs.

The full list of English-voiced karaoke songs includes:

Baka Mitai (I’ve Been a Fool)
Hell Stew
Like a Butterfly
Machine Gun Kiss
Spring Breeze
The Future I Dreamed Of
