It is no longer a secret that after the success of the previous series – Infinite Wealth which was made without the leader – Nagoshi who ended up moving to Netease, RGG and SEGA will continue the Yakuza series which is currently more familiarly known as Like a Dragon. Moreover, through the same series, they managed to bring back the iconic main protagonist – Kiryu into the story, although there is no confirmation whether he will continue to accompany the new protagonist – Ichiban to the next series or not. With the confirmation of the female character winner which also recently appeared, the signal for an official announcement is getting stronger. This time it comes from the Japanese trademark registration agency.
SEGA suddenly registered a trademark under the name “Yakuza Wars” in Japan. Although without the Like a Dragon embellishment as it should be, speculation immediately emerged, believing that this would be the title or subtitle for the latest Like a Dragon series later. As usual, no details have emerged from this trademark registration. This registration was carried out by SEGA on July 26, 2024, but it was only made publicly available today. It goes without saying that anticipation for the presence of the new Like a Dragon has strengthened, especially with the confirmation of their presence at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2024.
However, with no official confirmation at this time, the name “Yakuza Wars” could end up being anything. It could, for example, end up being a global/English adaptation of the Yakuza – RGG Online mobile game that is currently not available outside of Japan. What do you think? Any hopes for what the name Yakuza Wars will end up being?
