The latest title in the Like a Dragon series was shown off for the first time since its reveal last year, and takes the series out of Japan for the first time.
There've been a countless amount of trailers and reveals over the course of this year's Summer Game Fest, but only one game was revealed via a man waking up on a beach with his bare butt out and that was Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth at the Xbox Showcase. Like a Dragon is the new name for Sega 's Yakuza franchise (taking on the series' Japanese name), with the change taking place this year with Like a Dragon: Ishin! and Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name – which was shown off at the Summer Game Fest Opening Showcase.
To make the naming system even more confusing, despite not saying so in the title, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the eighth main entry in the series (as confirmed by RGG Studio on Twitter), following the series dropping the numbering system with 2020's Yakuza: Like a Dragon which introduced the series' new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga and switched the series to a turn-based RPG.
