Releasing in the west for the first time
Set during the late Edo period, Like A Dragon: Ishin!’s protagonist is real historical samurai Sakamoto Ryōma. It otherwise follows a similar structure to other Yakuza games, with melee combat (albeit with more swordplay) against large groups of goons being broken up by exploring an open world town (albeit with less pinball and fewer J-Pop idols).
Developers Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio are doing a livestream on September 14th, called the RGG Summit, where hopefully they’ll confirmJudgmentand show more of Ishin. It’ll be broadcast at 11am BST/12pm CEST/6am EST.
