Kiryu’s going by the name of Joryu in Like A Dragon Gaiden. According to Ryu Ga Gotoku, the game will be similar in size toLost Judgment’s DLC The Kaito Files, and maybe even a bit bigger. That’s about half the size of a standard Yakuza/Like A Dragon game. Not to worry though, because Ryu Ga Gotoku confirmed that you’ll still be able to run Kiryu, or Joryu, around town to soak up various sidequests. It’s intended to be a sidestory to Yakuza: Like A Dragon, so playing through should get everyone up to speed with what’s been happening with Kiryu’s monastic and potentially criminal exploits before Like A Dragon 8 rocks up.
