You can see this for yourself in the tweet below but the website basically reveals that Like a Dragon: Gaiden will support both Japanese and English voice acting but that the latter will be “implemented in a post-launch patch” - although the website doesn’t confirm how long we’ll be waiting for that. This might not come as too much of a surprise to long-time Yakuza fans, since the majority of the games in the series didn’t get an English dub at all.
Below this, it is confirmed that the Like a Dragon title will still support both Japanese and English subtitles as well as Korean, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
Although a new Like a Dragon game is exciting on its own, it’s actually one of two upcoming games from developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Alongside Like a Dragon: Gaiden, we’ve also got Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth to look forward which will also launch on PS4,PS5, PC, Xbox One,Xbox Series X/S. In fact,a Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth demo is on the way - but only with Like a Dragon Gaiden.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
