Yakuza Wars Trademark Application
RGG Studio, the developer of the Like a Dragon series, has been hinting for the last few months that it will announce its next game. This game will again be part of the Like a Dragon series. However, RGG Studio officials have stated that fans will be “surprised” what the game is. Before this upcoming announcement, it looks like we might learn the name of the game. Sega has filed a new trademark application in Japan for a project titled “Yakuza Wars”. The exact nature of this game was not specified in the trademark’s description, but it’s clear that this is likely the next entry in the Like a Dragon series.
Interestingly, the trademark application does not include the name “Like a Dragon”, the name RGG Studio gave to the final installments of the series. The series was previously called “Yakuza” in the western market. However, RGG Studio dropped that name in favor of “Like a Dragon” as it has always been called in Japan following the release of Yakuza.
Details about Yakuza Wars are still unclear, but we won’t have to wait too long to get more information. RGG Studio has already announced that it will unveil its next project at Tokyo Game Show 2024. This event will run from September 26th to September 29th and will feature updates on many games from the Japanese developer and publisher. Also, a live-action TV adaptation of the series called Like a Dragon: Yakuza, will air on Prime Video on October 24.
