The latest spin off of the popular Yakuza series is now here – and the first to formally debut the series’ new overarching name of Like A Dragon.
Like a Dragon: Ishin! is actually a remake of 2014 spin-off Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin! which takes players back in time to the Endo period -so while the faces might be familiar, they’re completely different characters from the Yakuza story we know and love.
