Another Genre Shift?

The "Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience" panel at Anime Expo featured Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and voice actor Kazuhiro Nakaya. While specifics remained under wraps, @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter reported the developers' statement: "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." They confirmed it's a new addition to the Like a Dragon series.

Given the series' shift to JRPG format with Like a Dragon 7, the term "surprising" opens up a vast range of possibilities. Speculation includes everything from a rhythm game based on the karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring supporting characters, or even a remake or sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The mystery only heightens the excitement.
