Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is taking a little roguelike inspiration with a dungeon that changes every time you delve into it.
Earlier today, December 22, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio updated the official Infinite Wealth Japanese website with brand new details. One of the more intriguing details about the new RPG is that it has a dungeon that changes every time you visit it, in a lovely little roguelike twist.
Infinite Wealth’s unique new dungeon means there should be plenty of reasons to return after you’ve beaten the dungeon once over. Considering it’s already set to be the singlelongest Yakuza game ever made, we could be journeying back to this dungeon repeatedly, depending on where it’s unlocked in the huge RPG.
There are also details on “unique helpers” on the Infinite Wealth website. We’ll periodically be given the opportunity to summon “unique” summons at very specific points in the RPG, and it looks like the widely beloved Nancy-Chan, the big lobster, is making a welcome return.
Infinite Wealth is already set to boast some unhinged minigames, including food delivery in an Uber-like service and a strip club, of all things. With the flexibility of the new dungeon featuring alongside these additions, Like a Dragon might just be the most expansive Yakuza game to date.
