RGG Studio would consider Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan if Ishin is a “huge hit”
A remake of Like A Dragon spin-off Ryū Ga Gotoku Kenzan could potentially happen, but devs RGG Studio say they’ll only consider it if the series' other upcoming spin-offIshinis a “a huge hit.” The comments came up in a recent interview byUngeekwith RGG Studio executive producer Masayoshi Yokoyama and chief director Hiroyuki Sakamoto. Although the remake of Ishin was announced during Sony’s September State Of Play stream, Kenzan seems quite far from being picked up for a revamp.
Kenzan was a Japan-exclusive game in the Ryū Ga Gotoku series that was released on PlayStation 3 in 2008, and was Like A Dragon’s first samurai-era spin-off. The game was set two centuries before Ishin, and centred on the famous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. In the game, Mushashi looked exactly like present-day Like A Dragon protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, natch. Yokoyama said that he felt Kenzan would need “an entire new game of its own” to flesh out its basic outline into something present-day players would appreciate.
