Unveiled during the Xbox Games Showcase, Sega’s latest installment in the popular Like a Dragon franchise showcases a daring twist as Ichiban Kasuga, the beloved protagonist from Yakuza: Like a Dragon, awakens on a beach in his birthday suit, setting the stage for the thrilling escapades in the forthcoming game, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth‘s initial trailer reveals a captivating twist, aside from Ichiban’s au naturel state — he finds himself waking up in an English-speaking locale, indicating a departure from Yokohama. Could it be that Ichiban and the Like a Dragon series are embarking on a Hawaiian getaway? One thing is clear: the developers of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth remain cheeky as ever, cleverly employing strategically-positioned props to maintain a sense of modesty amidst Ichiban’s uninhibited stroll across the beach.
According to a news release from Sega, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth begins when “an unexpected chain of events sets two legendary ex-yakuza, Kasuga Ichiban and Kazuma Kiryu, on a larger-than-life adventure as dual playable protagonists.”
Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio are gearing up to unveil further details about Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth during the upcoming RGG Summit Summer 2023, taking place later this week. Streaming live on 11 pm EDT/8 pm PDT on 15 June, this event will offer exciting updates on upcoming titles, community initiatives, and engaging developer discussions. Fans can also anticipate additional information on Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, a newly-revealed spinoff from Summer Game Fest 2023 that focuses on the esteemed former protagonist of the series, Kazuma Kiryu.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is slated for early 2024 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
