Yakuza’s Like a Dragon: Ishin Spinoff Game Gets a Remake and Global Release
Yakuza’s 2014 spinoff game Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin is getting released for the first time outside of Japan with a full remake in Like a Dragon: Ishin, Sony revealed at the September 13 State of Play. This remake will be the first RGG Studio game to be built on Unreal Engine 4.
Ishin brings familiar and new characters to 1860s Kyo, a fictional version of Kyoto that explores the end of the samurai era. Yakuza protagonist Kazuma Kiryu takes on the role of Sakamoto Ryoma, a man proficient with swords, guns, and summoning a tiger to attack enemies (though the real historical figure Kiryu plays in this game may not have been well-versed in that last part). As with other games in the franchise, Like a Dragon: Ishin will also feature minigames and Heat Actions for combat.
Like a Dragon: Ishin is coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC globally in February 2023. RGG Studios has its own event, RGG Summit 2022, scheduled for September 14 at 3PM PT / 19:00 JST, putting it just before the 2022 Tokyo Game Show.
Stay tuned for IGN’s Tokyo Game Show coverage, but in the meantime, you can check out the other State of Play coverage including new information about God of War Ragnarok and the official Tekken 8 announcement.
