Like a Dragon: Ishin!
Typically, the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series is set in a fairly modern world and focuses on crime, but Like a Dragon: Ishin!, a remake of a 2014 Japan-only release, is notably a much different type of story, set in the 1800s and centered around samurai. Despite the change in setting, Ishin’s cast is made up of characters with the same voice and likeness as those seen in the mainline Yakuza/Like a Dragon games, such as main character Sakamoto Ryoma resembling mainline protagonist Kazuma Kiryu.The remake has updated several of these characters to include counterparts from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games that launched since the 2014 original, which will likely make it more approachable to those who have played more recent entries in the series. It’s set to launch for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on February 21.
