RGG boss says he wanted to make a Yakuza game called Like a Dragon: Tuna where Kiryu is a fisherman, and now I'm genuinely bummed "it never came to fruition"

Yakuza 3.

There is probably only one hypothetical game that could get me to play anything that isn't horror or horror adjacent in the month of October, and that is a Yakuza fishing game. And as it turns out, Ryu Ga Gotoku studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama actually wanted to make one for a long time, but ultimately canned it in favor of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, which admittedly also sounds absolutely amazing.

In a new PlayStation Blog interview, Yokoyama said he wanted to make a game called Like a Dragon: Tuna (read that again) for "quite some time". That game would've starred longtime Yakuza protagonist Kazuma Kiryu "as a tuna fisherman" who "sets off to sea to fight against fishing boats."
