A New Yakuza Game to be unveiled at TGS 2020?

Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon was released earlier this year in January and now is set to hit the markets of Western countries this November.

If you are a weeb and haven’t played the Yakuza series, are you really a weeb?

Yakuza is arguably one of the finest gaming series that portrays Japan and impressively captures the essence of its mafia culture. It offers open-world gameplay which lets you explore the depths of the land of the rising sun.

Basically, its GTA set in Japan!

Yakuza is best known for its compelling storyline. It has the kind of plot that really draws you in as it contains almost every element whose mixture results in pure entertainment.

There will be moments where you all are engrossed and then seconds later, you will be bursting out in laughter seeing the idiocy of the game.

However, there is only one fly in the ointment in Yakuza’s case and that is its combat style. 

But then again, don’t let this little bump on the road stop you from trying out one of the finest journeys of your ‘gaming life’.

Now, with Yakuza 7 packing new battle mechanics, foes, and locations, fans are set for an adventure that sets their soul on fire.

Before the majority of enthusiasts could get their hands on Yakuza 7, it is rumored that a new game could be rolled out soon.

TGS (Tokyo Game Show) co-host Ayana Tsubaki in a now-deleted Tweet said,

“#ryugagotoku #yakuza The latest work in the [Yakuza] series will finally be announced”

Developing company Sega, as of now, has confirmed nothing and the tweet offers no detail about the “latest work” that will be launched.

Some enthusiasts believe that Yakuza Online, a mobile game will be announced or that the older variants of the series will receive PC compatibility. While some also believe a major arrival will be announced.

But as of now, nothing concrete is known and an air of mystery surrounds Tsubaki’s tweet.

Therefore, one will have to watch the TGS Livestream that will start on September 27 at 8 pm JST (4 am PT / 7 am ET / 12 pm BST / 9 pm AEST) to know more about this Sega arrival.
