Sega has prepared a nice surprise for all fans of the Yakuza franchise by announcing Yakuza 8 official release date and dropping its first teaser trailer. Yakuza 8 (Like a Dragon 8) will arrive in 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. What's interesting is that the new sequel brings back Kiryu to fight alongside Ichiban!
You'll notice that Kiryu has a new hairstyle, and we can only speculate the reasons for this (hiding may be one of them). Also, as it happens, we'll have two heroes facing dangers, as Kiryu and Ichiban are shown together in the Yakuza 8 trailer. As you can see below, the trailer is for Like a Dragon 8 game, which is the official name, but it'll be hard to remove the Yakuza from players' minds.
