A couple weeks ago Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG Studio) announced that they would be hosting a 2023 Summer Summit on the 16th of June in which we would get information on the team’s new and upcoming projects. Despite this, the studio made an appearance during Summer Game Fest Kick Off with Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Once again, ahead of the 2023 Summer Summit, RGG Studio showed off their other in-development project – Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Arriving in Early 2024, Like a Dragon: Infinite wealth is the next mainline entry in the Like a Dragon (Yakuza) series in which “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.”
The lighthearted trailer seems to suggest that Infinite Wealth is set outside of Japan, somewhere in the USA. With how much Like a Dragon’s identity has been tied to its Japanese locations and culture, it will be interesting to see how these protagonists navigate this entirely new situation.
Regardless, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth looks to be a whole lot of fun. Hopefully we get to see more including gameplay during the upcoming 2023 RGG Studio Summer Summit.
