Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a new Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise entry. The story will follow Kazuma Kiryu, now named "Joryu," as it sheds light on what happened to him, all while bridging the gap between Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Unlike the previous release, Gaiden returns to the series' gameplay roots by being an action-focused beat-em-up.
