At the Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza Experience event during Anime Expo in Los Angeles, Like a Dragon Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto and voice actor Kazuhiro Nakaya (Ichiban Kasuga) hinted at the upcoming game. Their statement, as reported by @TheYakuzaGuy on Twitter, was simple yet intriguing: "We can’t tell you what kind of game it is, but I will tell you, you’ll be surprised." They confirmed it would be a new addition to the Like a Dragon franchise.

Given the series' surprising shift to JRPG format with Like a Dragon 7, the possibilities are vast. Speculation ranges from a rhythm game based on the popular karaoke mini-game, a spin-off featuring other beloved characters, or even a remake or sequel to past spin-offs like Yakuza: Dead Souls or the Japan-exclusive Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan. The mystery is certainly generating significant buzz.
