A man walks with Kamurocho in the background. Just by looking at it, it’s just idiot. A bomb head in a familiar silhouette. I felt it the moment I opened it. ‘Like a dragon 8’. At some point, another person stands next to Ichiban. A pretty silhouette, is it Han Joon-gi? Who is it. It is approaching slowly and is called ‘Kiryu’. He doesn’t look like Kiryu at all, but he is Kiryu. The two appear in one series.
Sega Like Dragon Studio held RGG Summit 2022 on the 14th and officially announced ‘Like Dragon 8’. In this work, Kiryu and Ichiban were cast as co-stars so that they might enjoy each part. In other words, there are chapters that play Ichiban as the main character, and chapters that play Kiryu as the main character. This reminds me of ‘Zero like a dragon’.
According to the development team, the basic system will proceed in RPG format following the previous work ‘Dragon Like 7’, and Ichiban will also develop the scenario with the help of several colleagues this time. However, it seems that the development team is not talking regarding the possibility of Kiryu’s part coming out as an action, so more explanation is needed.
In particular, in the released video, Kiryu’s appearance has changed, and he explained to the development team that there is some circumstance in this too, raising curiosity regarding the related scenario.
According to Masayoshi Yokoyama, CEO of Sega Dragon Like Studio, this work is being produced with the largest volume of all-time ‘Like a Dragon’ series. Specific scenarios have not been confirmed so far. However, it is expected that most of the main characters of the existing series will participate only with the voice that appears in the video.
‘Like Dragons 8’ is scheduled to be officially released in early 2024.
