Latest RGG Summit just wrapped up and had a whole ass info dump on Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, aka Yakuza 8 to most people, the Story trailer features heavy spoilers so I'd advise skipping that and going into the Gameplay Trailer instead (though that has some character spoilers too). Dub cast confirmed that Danny Trejo and Daniel Dae Kim are voicing major characters in the game and the release date has been revealed, it's January 26th 2024!

Heh. I like how the Japanese handle these stories. I want to binge this series. They simply keep making so many of them!

Edit: and I regret watching the trailer, so much cool shit, Yakuza is Life.

Same day as Tekken, one week before Persona 3 Reload. Very smart decision.

Day 1 for Ichiban is what I WANT to say
But that overly informative trailer with its twists and reveals showed that just about everyone I care about in the whole yakuza universe is along for the ride
just whet my appetite next time okay fellas

You can play these without going through 1-6. Different character.

Much sooner than expected. May need a refresher before playing this as I beat Like a Dragon over a year ago.
I had to stop that 10 minute video though. Way too much to show. I'm all in as is and don't need any more or the game spoiled.

Yea I was expecting Summer at the earliest, I wonder if this will be on Game Pass Day 1, I liked the last game a lot (I really need to go play the rest of the Yakuza series, only played Zero and LAD if were not counting Judgement)
I’m really looking forward to this but the release date is so odd. They have another Yakuza game coming out only a few months before this one. I def want to play the kiyru game before this so I probably won’t be able to get into this before launch.
Also still have to play BG3 at some point in 2024. First world problems for Metnut!

Not gonna watch but very excited for this.
My whole family has played the Yakuza franchise. Imagine using a Yakuza meme and everyone understands or playing a Yakuza song and everybody bops to it.
Only problem will be deciding who gets to play first.

Is this real VF3 or a Dreamcast port?

Have yet to finish Yakuza 7 (and Judgement ... and Lost Judgement)
This looks incredible. The amount of content is overwhelming, so I always end up droping these games.
Yakuza is the only franchise that despite not having played many (only 0 to completion) I want all the success in the world for it

I'm honestly super skeptical on these two upcoming games, there has just been so much change at the studio and frankly I think the fact they are dragging Kiryu back is troubling (normally I'd consider that a sign of lacking confidence and new ideas).
That said I have The Man Who Erased His Name preordered on Playasia and I will be preordering this as soon as I can too
Just trying not too overhype myself going in.

Yes, but now you can move the character freely. Positioning also important. For Kiryu, you can awaken him to do free action battle like the previous games for a limited time.

Thanks, that sounds good.

Considering there are other model 3 games in there, I'm wagering this is a real arcade port.

Incredible trailer with everything I loved about the previous Ichiban episode. I will pass on Gaiden for now as this seems a lot more appealing.
Absolutely Day 1, looks like Rebirth will have to wait a couple months.

First time VF3 has been ported since Dreamcast.
