Yakuza Series Developer Is Working on a New IP; Like a Dragon's Sequel Will Take Place Several Years Into the Future

Yakuza series developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is working on a new IP alongside the next entry in the series that has been confirmed final month.

Speaking with Famitsu, as reported past ryokutya2089, studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama revealed that the studio is working on a new IP that is non related to the Yakuza and Judgment series. Not much else has been said about this game, so it's not clear if it will be some other game set up in the serial' world or a brand new one.

Masayoshi Yokoyama besides commented on the next entry in the Yakuza serial, revealing that it will be set several years after the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon and that it will star Ichiban Kasuga once over again.

The latest game from the Yakuza serial developer is Lost Judgment. The game doesn't revolutionize the formula introduced by its predecessor, merely the game's high quality makes it easy to look past this pocket-sized issue, as I highlighted in my review.

With its excellent detective story, extremely likable characters, and welcome improvements to combat and investigation mechanics, Lost Judgment won't disappoint any fan of the original, of the Yakuza series, or anyone looking for a very mature story. The game doesn't try to shake upward the original formula, which may definitely put some players off, simply this is hardly a problem when quality is as high as it is in the latest game from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the series' latest installment, is at present available on PC, PlayStation five, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One worldwide.
