The maker of theYakuza/Like a Dragonseries will reportedly reveal its next game in only a couple of short months. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio will show off what it’s been cooking in September.
The news wasreported by VGC, translating a stream hosted by the developer on its official YouTube channel. According to the clip, RGG plans to show off its next game during Tokyo Game Show 2024, which starts on June 20, 2025.
As far as details go, there isn’t a lot to go on. The stream went live to announce the candidates chosen from the Minato Girls Audition whichtook place in March. As stated in the video’s details, the winners are slated to appear in the nextLike a Dragongame. Of course, that doesn’t mean said game will be another within the franchise, but a fan can dream.
The next RGG game to be revealed in late September
It hasn’t been too long since the lastLike a Dragongame.LAD: Infinite Wealtharrived on June 04, 2025, to high praise, receiving a solid 8/10 fromyour favorite website. One would think it’s a tad early for anotherLike a Dragongame, but as RGG has proven before, it’s not too shabby with multitasking.Like a Dragon: Ishin,Like a Dragon Gaiden, andLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealthall arrived within a year of each other.
So, what’s on the horizon for the team? The only information we have is auser on Xclaiming that RGG mentioned fans would be “surprised” by the next game while speaking at an event during Anime Expo 2024. That could mean just about anything. While I won’t bet on another mainline release, there’s a chance we may hear about anotherGaiden-like adventure. I’m still holding out onJudgment 3and taking all bets.
Either way, it seems we have plenty coming our way from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Following the Tokyo Game Show announcement, Amazon is premiering itslive-action adaptationof the franchise in October.
