Yakuza Like a Dragon – PS5

A bold new direction for a beloved crime saga — Yakuza: Like a Dragon reinvents the long-running series as a turn-based JRPG with a fresh protagonist.

Product Description

Yakuza: Like a Dragon was developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega, with the PS5 "Xperience" edition delivering enhanced resolution, frame rate, and load times over the base PS4 release. It marks a significant structural shift for the long-running Yakuza series, introducing new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga and switching combat from the series' traditional real-time brawler system to a turn-based JRPG format, drawing playful inspiration from Ichiban's own love of classic RPGs within the story itself.

The game retains the series' signature blend of serious crime-drama storytelling and quirky, substantial side content, following Ichiban's rise from a low-level yakuza member framed for a crime he didn't commit into a hero fighting corruption in the fictional Yokohama district.
