Yakuza: Like Dragon (or Yakuza 7, in Japan) is going to take the series in an interesting new direction, to say the least. Not only does it introduce a new protagonist, it also completely changes genres to become a turn-based JRPG, while also being the first mainline game in the series to not be set in Kamurocho, instead featuring Isezaki Ijincho as the main setting.
In a batch of almost twenty new screenshots released by Sega, we recently got a good look at a number of locations from Isezaki Ijincho, showing various locations, establishments, and more from around the town. One of the images also shows a map of the town, with Sega confirming that it is three times as large as Kamurocho. The screens also give us our first look at to new characters- Hamako, the manager of a restaurant, and Nonomiya, the manager of Otohime Land. Take a look at all the screens below (via Twinfinite).
Yakuza: Like Dragon – which recently wrapped up development – is out exclusively for the PS4 in Japan on January 16th, 2020, while demo for the game is also available on the Japanese PlayStation Store. The game will also be releasing in the west in 2020, but a more specific launch date hasn’t yet been confirmed.
