Like a Dragon Games Discounted Prices On Steam
While these discounts are great for fans who’ve been waiting to pick these games up, there is one glaring omission from the list of titles. Disappointingly,Like a Dragon: Ishin, the2023 remake of the 2014Yakuzaspinoff, isn’t included in thisLike a DragonSteam sale. SinceIshinis a side story taking place in the 1860s featuring a set of characters unrelated to those of the mainYakuzasaga, it’s not considered to be part of the mainline story. That said, its omission from the sale is unfortunate, as its narrative is just as rich as the mainline games'.
WithLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealthhaving just been released, it’ll likely be a few years before RGG Studio is ready to share more about the future of the franchise, and whether it’ll include more smaller spinoff entries such asLike a Dragon GaidenorIshin. Thepotential forYakuza Kiwami 3, a remake ofYakuza 3, has also recently been hinted at by the franchise’s director, but it has yet to be officially announced.
