We’re nonetheless a number of months away from seeing the eighth mainline entry within the Like a Dragon collection. Thankfully, it received’t be lengthy earlier than gamers meet Kazuma Kiryu once more within the spinoff, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Title.

All of the whereas, he’ll discover himself as soon as once more embroiled in threats, violence, and underworld intrigue. However those that handle to endure these trials will get handled to a Particular Trial Model of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
